BBC partition program by anita rani

[Jonny101]

Amrit Pal Singh Amrit has recently released some very good videos  about the partition.

This video is about the famous Thoha Khalsa village in Pothohar which sadly is famous for the Sikh woman who had jumped into wells in large numbers to save themselves from being raped by mobs

In This video Amrit Pal Singh gets emotional while narrating what had happened and no doubt you probably will too.

 

The Pothoharis women are probably the only women that really jumped into wells and was documented by the media and third party sources of the time. Most Punjabis who had their women abducted and lost forever like Anita Rani's grandfather's first wife just copied this narrative for their own women since in our culture it is the heroic thing for a woman to do like Rajput women of old did in their famous Johar tradition.

U reckon the panjabi muslims of e.panjab, whom were faced with the same situation, did the same, as in fabricate their women heroicly killing themselves? I remember in that ch4 partition of panjab docu, how 1 of the muslim guys sayin all the muslim women of his sikh majority pind were all put in 1 house n burnt alive, so singhs couldnt abduct/convert/rape their ladies. Sad sad times man, dushman or not.

I feel this is what many claim in order to give a heroic narrative of their women folk who were most probably abducted and married off as in the case of Anita Ranis grandmother. I have asked many elders from Malwa and Doaba if they had heard of cases of Muslim women in their region sacrificing themselves like the Pothohar women instead of being caught and they never heard such a thing. I'm not saying it never happened but is certainly was not so common in East Punjab.
