The True Origin of Britain's Partition of India: What Historians Get Wrong

Accident versus design — that is the real debate at the heart of Britain's 1947 Partition of India, and this video makes the case that mainstream historians have consistently landed on the wrong side of it. Far from a rushed, well-meaning mistake, the division of the subcontinent traces back to a century of deliberate British colonial policy: the census classifications that hardened fluid religious identities, the 1905 Bengal partition, and the 1909 Morley-Minto reforms that institutionalized separate communal electorates. By the time Cyril Radcliffe drew his boundary lines in five weeks, the structural logic driving Hindu-Muslim partition had been built into Indian governance for generations.
