Dear Himedrada Well we got carried away to something else. In any case, how can somone without authority take responsibility? Even person like Lord Louis Mountbatten faltered or allowed it to happen by design, as a price for the ultimate divide and festering damage. Hindit eta kotha ase "bhai jeisa dost nahin aur bhai jeisa dushman bhi nahin'.
There wil be millions who will be lost again in the hurricanes of history, like the Hindus and Muslims of India who are lost and god knows when this hurricane will stop! Thats probably by will of nature which programmed species to mix from time to time without traces of the past. Personally, my family lost our roots during 'manor din'. My great great great grandfather's family ran to the forests of Dhemaji in a boat alongwith 6 other families. These 7 families became 7 villages in course of time. But we have no clue about our other kith and kins who used to inhabit near Dibru river in nineteenth century.
