India & Pakistan - A continuing Story

My sincere apologies for keeping you waiting for a month with this video. It was supposed to only be 12 minutes long, but I got lost in the research and the scope and size of this topic, so I ended up making an almost one-hour long video. And still... I think this video doesn't contain enough information.
The Topic is India and Pakistan, their conflicts for independence and the historical background of such. As well as the conflicts that resulted out of independence. An overview of the Indian republic and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. As well as a brief intermission on Bangladesh and the geopolitics surrounding Sri Lanka. I hope you enjoyed the video. Don't forget to support the channel. And as said in the video, here is a bibliography:

At 23:42 the position on the board is illegal, no set of legal moves can reach a Queen-Rook double check like that, 4.99/5 would heavily recommend to learn Indian Defence.

Favorite quote:

"20 years after the anti-sikh riots, a sikh would become Prime Minister"
You missed to mention that India had a Sikh President at the time of the riots. President Zail Singh, on this part, desperately phoned the Prime Minister's Office to help out the fellow Sikh people from getting slaughtered. But the PMO was curiously "unreachable".

As a Pakistani myself, we were so hellbent on liberating Kashmir that we ended up in a worse situation than Kashmir itself.

the way the British Viceroy justified selling precious crops instead of feeding the starving masses mirrors the way the English rulers' justification for events that later resulted in the Irish famine

As a Pakistani, I am quiet surprised by how accurately researched this is. Kudos to you! In Pakistan, since its creation, the military has been the dominant force in politics and matters of the state. Much of Pakistan's present problems like diplomatic isolation and a failing economy can be blamed on the military's failed policies. The atrocities committed by it either directly or indirectly in Bangladesh and Afghanistan are dark chapters in Pakistan's history. Sadly even today, most Pakistanis see its military as a savior and a force for the good. The military has maintained this image by quashing the freedom of expression in the country, as well as controlling the political stage. I hope the people of Pakistan will eventually see through its military's lies and realize that true peace and prosperity only lies in harmony with its neighbors.

“… they fought for the freedom of others, but not their own.”
That line hits like a punch to the gut.

USA: Man, I really messed up by supporting terrorist.

A minor correction: the Indian Prime Minister was assassinated by the Tamil Tigers because he intervened on the side of the Sri Lankan Government and killed the tamil tigers.

The tombstones at 25:51 read "in memory of a scholar".
As an Indian Bengali, it is heartwrenching. Despite our religious differences I'm glad Bangladesh is prospering.

That's so terrifying to me, the thought of being killed just because you have the smallest incline of education

after almost 2.5 years of release, geopolitics has changed a bit. Saudi is more closure to India now, Sri Lanka was bullied by Chinese at Hambantota, Pakistan's support to Taliban backfired at Duran line, India's not so good relations with Bnagladesh, etc. & one important relation which was missed was "Russia was and still is India's friendly state."
