Sharing an X post, the prime minister called the Partition a 'tragic chapter' of Indian history, and urged the public to strengthen the harmony in the country.
Ambedkar regarded both Gandhi and Jinnah as suffering from ‘colossal egotism’, who made Indian politics a matter of their ‘personal quarrel’ and brought it to a standstill.
On Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s 148th birth anniversary, a look at how teenage years in London took him to Lincoln’s Inn, Shakespeare, and Savile Row—and inspired new ambitions.
Arif Zakaria, who plays Jinnah in Freedom At Midnight, makes it a point to stumble over the Urdu speech scenes. After all, Jinnah was not comfortable with the language.
Analysts, however, feel commemoration of Jinnah's 76th death anniversary was a one-off, but admit that New Delhi and Dhaka will have to take calculated steps going forward.

Our civilisation lost its most ancient historical sites, our people were displaced, lost their livelihoods, ancestral lands, and culture and identity (yes, just look at the Urduised bastardisation of Dharmic culture in so-called Pakistan today) – and that’s just talking about those who managed to survive, their selves and dharma in one piece.
On the other hand, some entitled pricks who voted for the partition and participated in the brutalities now want to have the cake and eat it too, claiming they “chose” India.
