The Partition : India and Pakistan

A Dalit man and his mother were thrashed allegedly by a group of 15 'upper caste' men for skinning a dead cow near a crematorium at a village in Anand district of Gujarat.

The Kerala High Court has said that a woman who has attained majority is free to marry anyone of her liking, even if that upsets her parents.
Disposing off a habeas corpus filed by the parents of 19-year-old Muslim woman from Paravur, the court said on July 27 that it cannot restrict a woman from exercising her fundamental rights.

In 1940 in Lahore Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the man who founded Pakistan, gave a seminal speech setting out the need for a separate state for Muslims on the subcontinent.
Prior to the division of India in 1947, Hindus and Muslims had lived together across the country. But Jinnah described them as two separate nations.
"It is a dream that the Hindus and Muslims can ever evolve a common nationality," he said.
"Hindus and Muslims belong to two different religious philosophies, social customs and literary traditions. They neither intermarry nor eat together, and indeed they belong to two different civilisations which are based mainly on conflicting ideas and conceptions."
This "Two Nation Theory", as it came to be known, has become the official Pakistani narrative for the creation of the state and key to how Pakistan defines itself.
