What you said is quite true but hardliners here are not ready to digest this truth.A lot of Sikhs and Muslims were killed by each other, but majority helped each other, we were brothers before partition and lived together peacefully, you know who didn’t like this….
my great grandfather was saved by his Sikh best friends family during partition, Sikhs had come to kill Muslims in a village in Amritsar where my grandfather who was a baby at the time and great grandfather were living, the Sikh family hid them and eventually took them to the border and into Pakistan.
Few rogue killing gangs of both Muslims and sikhs did not represent the entire population of both communities at that time.Infact as a Punjabi lifestyle wise there is hardly any difference between a Muslim and sikh.
A famous gangster from my native town killed several Hindu families during partition just for the sake of looting their money and jewellery.He took advantage of the situation and even rob the Muslim families. He was disliked and isolated by the entire Muslims of that area. Even today his third,fourth generation are criminals. That's the hard reality of so called Hindu,Muslim and sikh riots during partition
