The necessity of being woke makes you do stupid things. A good example is Historic Photographs postin the Boof of Feces:
Nathuram Godse was not a Right Wing White Supremacist like the idiots from HP try to portray him but a Hindu who saw the splitting of India to create Pakistan as treason. In fact there is no Pakistan till 14 August 1947, less than a year before the creation of the State of Israel. Interesting the double standard on how to treat modernly-created countries, no? That would actually make Nathuram Godse a Hindu version of a Palestinian sympathyzer. If the Partition of India was not bad enough, the relocation of some 12 million people leaving in its wake a million dead by means of force, may have something to do with inflaming the altready hot emotions about the creation of Pakistan and the hate against Gandhi. We are told the Non-Violence Movement was mostly a success, but we are never told what happened after the Union Jack was loweded. The years of political confussion and wholesale genocide and millions of refugees are never mentioned.
But if the above is not bad enough, remember that the name of this page is Historic Photographs. Which brings us to the choice of the day you see above: A very nice, very impacting capture of the deaths of the Mahatma. Except that is a photographic still from the movie ‘Nine Hours to Rama‘.
But hey! We Woke! Siorry if history needs to take one for the team.
One of the great ironies (of the many ironies) surrounding the independence of India and the subsequent partition into Hindu India and Muslim East and West Pakistan was that Gandhi was pressuring the British not to partition India. Yet he was assassinated by a Hindu fanatic who opposed partition. Apparently in his twisted mind, by killing Gandhi, the British would somehow delay or give up on partition and then the Hindu majority would be able to control the Muslim minority. In reality, the chaos that ensued, led to genocide in areas where Hindu and Muslim populations overlapped. In some respects that chaos has lasted until today.
Jammu and Kashmir is still “disputed”.
That’s always my first question: “if Israel is illegitimate, isn’t Pakistan illegitimate also?”
If the answer is “no” you know you’re dealing with a Jew hater.
But Pakistan is the “land of the pure”!
