The Enduring Geopolitical Tragedy of India’s Partition

Addressing the Overseas Pakistani Convention in Islamabad on April 16th, Pakistan’s army chief General Asif Munir called Kashmir “our jugular vein.” He further went on to reinforce his view on the partition of the subcontinent in 1947, saying, “Our forefathers thought that we were different from the Hindus in every aspect of life. Our religion, our customs, traditions, thoughts and ambitions are different. That was the foundation of the two-nation theory that was laid.”
