The Partition of India led to the creation on August 14, 1947 and August 15, 1947, respectively, of two sovereign states, upon the granting of independence to British India by the United Kingdom: the Dominion of Pakistan (later Islamic Republic of Pakistan); and the Union of India (later Republic of India). 'Partition' here refers also to the division of the Bengal province of British India into the Pakistani state of East Bengal (later East Pakistan, now Bangladesh) and the Indian state of West Bengal, as well as the similar partition of the Punjab region of British India into the Punjab province of West Pakistan and the Indian state of Punjab, in addition to the division of the British Indian Army, the Indian Civil Service and other administrative services, the railways, and the central treasury, and other assets.
The secession of Bangladesh from Pakistan in the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War is not covered by the term Partition of India, nor are the earlier separations of Ceylon (Sri Lanka) and Burma (Myanmar) from the administration of British India. Ceylon, part of the Madras Presidency of British India from 1795 until 1798, became a separate Crown Colony in 1798. Burma, gradually annexed by the British during 1826 – 86 and governed as a part of the British Indian administration until 1937, was directly administered thereafter. [1] Burma was granted independence on January 4, 1948 and Ceylon on February 4, 1948. (See History of Sri Lanka and History of Burma.)
The remaining countries of present-day South Asia include: Nepal; Bhutan; and the Maldives. The first two, Nepal and Bhutan, having signed treaties with the British designating them as independent states, were never a part of British India, and therefore their borders were not affected by the partition. The Maldives, which became a protectorate of the British crown in 1887 and gained its independence in 1965,
Bah - get your history right, the british unified india and allowed pakistan to come into existence.
We were attempting to do a job with both hands tied behind our back.
Just look at HISTORY, and you will see how good we British are at fighting.
I suspect that you won't be the first one trying to see how far you can push us in reality.
Why the militancy? We never really got to this properly last night did we?
You were born in the same country as me. I have no argument with you living life as you see fit as long as you don't shove it down my throat, or break any laws.
I expect that 99% of the people in the UK see things exactly that way, so whats the problem, exactly?
It strikes me that you seem to feel you need special treatment - why?

Have I shoved it down your throat or broke any laws? Come back to me when I done either of them. I follow all the laws and I don’t even have one black mark being involved in any type of criminal/terrorist activites.
You are the one that has the problem not me.
Did I say I need s special treatment? You give ‘special treatments’ and than later think why were these ‘special treatments’ given. Next time tell Gordon Brown to think first than Act. Or better join forces with BNP.
It's a nuclear power because they were illegally sold the technology, which was provided by state officials to turkey who then sold it at profit to interested nations.

Yes that was history and will remain as ‘history’. At the moment you can’t even control your own country.

Driving ban stays for Saudi women
Saudi Arabia's interior minister has dismissed growing pressure to allow women to drive.
The kingdom imposes severe restrictions on women, including barring them from voting or going out in public unaccompanied by a male relative.

"I triple guarantee you" that you're a male. How do I know? Why if you were a female you wouldn't be singing the praises fof Sharia law.

Which is militancy on your part, is it not? Why do you feel the need to do that?
You made a statement about riots, which came totally out of the blue and not in context with the conversation, which is kind of making a rather bold and confrontational statement to anyone who lives in Britain. I'd say that line alone could be defined as "shoving your views down our throat", but you are also at pains - so it seems - to try and do your fellow countrymen down and suggest that, because of your religion, you shouldn't mix with them.
As for the other part of your paragraph, no one has suggested you have. the response itself is interesting though.
So what were you referring to in your text where you told us that there would be riots if "you" didn't get "your way"? Why would you do that?
Your responses and your ideas are, which is why I'm asking.
