Islamic Imperialism in IndiaSikh and Hindu RetaliationIn the pre-Partition phase <strong>of</strong> violence and terror from August 1946 till late July 1947, namely in Calcutta, EastBengal, NWFP and Punjab (including Amritsar), Muslims had a near monopoly. The Hindu retaliation inBihar was a result <strong>of</strong> Muslims’ instigation in Calcutta (included many Bihari victims) and Noakhali, whichwas further fueled by incitements by local Muslims. But the Muslim violence on the Pakistan side went onalmost unabated in one part or another. Meanwhile, the Sikhs, who had suffered horribly in NWFP and WestPunjab, moved to different parts <strong>of</strong> East Punjab, including Amritsar. Amritsar had already suffered a horridwave <strong>of</strong> Muslim violence and destruction. They brought their harrowing tales <strong>of</strong> sufferance and Muslimbarbarity, naturally igniting outrage and even a sense <strong>of</strong> retaliation amongst Sikhs, particularly in Amritsar—already wounded by unprovoked Muslim brutality. Their innocent coreligionists had been slaughtered in largenumbers and converted en masse; their women were raped, enslaved and carried away; their homes,businesses and properties were looted and burned down; gurdwaras were plundered and defiled.A flame <strong>of</strong> retaliation was ignited, particularly amongst those, who had come from the other sideempty-handed with their family members killed, wives and daughters raped and carried away as well as thosewho had already suffered horrid violence in Amritsar earlier in March. In late July 1947, Lahore was inflames again; this ignited the Sikhs and Hindus in Amritsar, already fuming with anger, into unleashingviolence on their Muslim neighbors. Further Fuel was added to the Sikh anger by their loss <strong>of</strong> Sheikhpura,which became part <strong>of</strong> Pakistan. It is the most sacred place for them, the birthplace <strong>of</strong> Guru Nanak Dev,founder <strong>of</strong> Sikhism. In August, violence flared up in equal measure on both sides <strong>of</strong> the Partition line inPunjab. From Amritsar, violence spread quickly to other districts <strong>of</strong> East Punjab: Gurdaspur, Jalandhar,Hoshiarpur, Ludhiana and Ferozepore, and later in Haryana.The Sikh violence mainly focused on killing Muslims and looting their properties. There were someincidents <strong>of</strong> kidnapping <strong>of</strong> Muslim women and some <strong>of</strong> them married <strong>of</strong>f to Sikh men. However, authorities,who tried their best to protect Muslims, recovered most <strong>of</strong> the kidnapped Muslim women and returned to theirfamilies. On the background <strong>of</strong> centuries <strong>of</strong> Muslim brutalities and those in the course <strong>of</strong> the Partitionbeginning with the Direct Action, the Sikhs <strong>of</strong> East Punjab had become convinced that peaceful coexistencewith Muslims would not be feasible; therefore, driving Muslims out from their midst was a major motive <strong>of</strong>their retaliations (discussed below).On the India side, Delhi, where Muslims had strong presence in some areas, also witnessed largescaleviolence, all instigated by Muslims. The Muslim League had tried to ignite violence in Delhi inNovember 1946 by arming the Muslim hooligans. In the course <strong>of</strong> the Partition in August 1947, Muslimswere armed again with ‘automatic weapons, country-made cannons, rifles, bombs, mortars and missiles.’ 578Muslim blacksmiths and motor mechanics became producers <strong>of</strong> weapons; Muslim rioters were provided withwireless transmitters and receiving sets for exchanging messages, thirteen <strong>of</strong> which amongst other deadlyweapons were recovered.On 21 August 1947, a bomb exploded in the house <strong>of</strong> a Muslim student in Shahadara, probablyaccidentally while assembling it. On the night <strong>of</strong> September 3, another bomb, allegedly thrown by Muslims,exploded in the Qarol Bagh Hindu neighborhood. Following this, a communal frenzy erupted amongstMuslims in the area; armed mobs paraded the streets, and shot Dr Joshi, a non-Muslim resident, when he wentout to reason with them. Following this event, Muslim mob violence spread to other parts <strong>of</strong> Delhi. OnSeptember 6, they began widespread looting and stabbing in the capital. A Muslim mob attacked the DistrictJail and killed a Hindu warden; they battled with the police, which was 60 percent Muslim.On the morning <strong>of</strong> September 8, records a police report, a police patrol found Muslims firing onHindus in the Subzimandi area. In the confrontation, many policemen were also injured; Assistant Sub-Inspector had to be sent to Hospital. The battle between the Muslim mob and the police lasted the whole day;578. Khosla, p. 282–83180
Islamic Jihadthe Police Station was also shot at. Muslims also started attacking the Hindu villages in the outskirt <strong>of</strong> Delhi,burning them down. These unremitting provocations—in the context <strong>of</strong> what had transpired since the DirectAction and what was happening to the helpless Hindus (and Sikhs) on the Pakistan side—ended restraint <strong>of</strong>the Hindus <strong>of</strong> Delhi. They started attacking and murdering Muslims, who, although found armed, wereoutnumbered; their houses were sometimes burned down. Police had recovered from Muslim houses anumber <strong>of</strong> unlicensed guns, daggers and knives, 154 bombs, forty-five mortars, 1,950 rounds <strong>of</strong> rifleammunition, thirteen wireless transmitters, a number <strong>of</strong> hand-grenades, Sten-gun cartridges and chemicals.According to police records, 507 Muslims perished in the violence with seventy-six Hindu deaths; probablyequal numbers went unreported. 579Premeditated ethnic cleansing <strong>of</strong> Hindus and SikhsThe violence during the Partition <strong>forced</strong> nearly twenty million people to cross the border: Hindus and Sikhsfrom Pakistan to India and Muslims from India to Pakistan. The Muslim League, it appears, not only wanted aseparate homeland, they also wanted it purely for Muslims, cleansed <strong>of</strong> the infidels: Hindus and Sikhs. Theviolence they perpetrated during the course <strong>of</strong> the Partition, it appears, was a premeditated stratagem,carefully orchestrated by the Muslim League, to ethnically cleanse the non-Muslims from Pakistan. OnMuslim League’s incitement <strong>of</strong> the ethnic-cleansing <strong>of</strong> non-Muslims, the Times <strong>of</strong> London wrote, ‘League’sreckless propaganda causes Punjab tragedy.’ 580 The incitement and demagoguery <strong>of</strong> Jinnah and other topMuslim League leaders, argue Collins and Lapierre, convinced Muslims that ‘in Pakistan, the Land <strong>of</strong> thePure, Hindu moneylenders, shopkeepers and zamindars (Sikh landlords) would disappear… if Pakistan isours, so too are shops, farms, houses and factories <strong>of</strong> the Hindus and Sikhs.’ 581 Collins and Lapierre add: ‘Thecentral Post Office in Lahore was flooded with thousands <strong>of</strong> postcards addressed to the Hindus and Sikhs.They depicted men and women being raped and slaughtered. On the back was the message: ‘This is what ishappening to our Sikh and Hindu brothers and sisters at the hands <strong>of</strong> Muslims when they take over.’ Thesepostcards were part <strong>of</strong> a campaign <strong>of</strong> psychological warfare, conducted by the Muslim League, to createpanic among Sikhs and Hindus.’ 582 An <strong>of</strong>ficer sent a letter, dated 5 September 1947, from the LahoreGovernment House to Governor-General Jinnah, read: ‘‘I am telling everyone that I don’t care how the Sikhscross the border, the great thing is to get rid <strong>of</strong> them as soon as possible. There is still little sign <strong>of</strong> the300,000 Sikhs in Lyallpur moving, but in the end they too will have to go.’’ 583Whether in Calcutta, Noakhali or the Muslim-dominated Districts <strong>of</strong> present-day Pakistan, thepolice—dominated by or exclusively made up <strong>of</strong> Muslims—maintained indifference and even participated inthe vandalism, plunder, arson and killing. It is already noted <strong>of</strong> how Suhrawardy directed the police in theCalcutta riots. Regarding the abetment <strong>of</strong> the Bengal Muslim League government and the police in the DirectAction violence, the words <strong>of</strong> Sher-e-Bangla (Tiger <strong>of</strong> Bengal) AK Fazlul Huq, 584 the CM <strong>of</strong> undividedBengal (1937–43) and later briefly <strong>of</strong> East Pakistan (1954), are worth taking note here. In describing hiseyewitness account <strong>of</strong> the savagery in an address to the Bengal Legislative Assembly on 19 September 1946,he said: ‘‘It seemed …that some modern Nadir Shah had come upon Calcutta and had given up the city torapine, plunder and pillage. Sir, each time I tried to get in touch with police <strong>of</strong>ficers, I was told that I was tocontact the Control Room.’’ His desperate effort to contact the police and government <strong>of</strong>ficials wasunsuccessful. Of the government and police inaction, he added: 585579. Ibid, p. 242–85580. Times <strong>of</strong> London, 19 March 1947581.
