The fact of the matter is that mass-scale genocide, rapes, abductions and forced displacements, in 1947, were regional in nature, and were reciprocal and retributive, both in quantum and intensity. For example, by the end of 1947, no Hindu or Sikh was left in Pakistani Punjab; but equally, no Muslim was left in Indian Punjab.Overall forced displacements and killings are estimated to be about 15 Million and 1 Million, respectively, equally distributed on either side of the border.So, don't portray yourself on a higher moral pedestal. These crimes were committed from both sides in equal measure. Here "equal measure" implies quantum, not percentages, on a national scale.</blockquote>
