From the transcript
On the 15th of August, 1947, one country became two. The partition of India into India and Pakistan was supposed to ease tensions and allow the much-maligned people of the subcontinent whether they be Hindi, Sikh, Muslim or Christian to live in peace, free from persecution. Sadly, that couldn't have been further from the truth.
The largest single partition of a populace that the world had ever seen lit the fuse on a powder keg that quickly detonated with shocking results and ethnic violence raged on both sides of the newly created border. It's thought that between 14 and 18 million people moved from India to Pakistan or vice versa.
Excess mortality recorded during this dark period put the number killed at over 1 million.
