Arts & Humanities - 16 March 2007

The purpose of 1947 partition was so that the muslims can live in a Muslim state with their fellow muslim brethren in peace and happiness. While also the hindus can live in their state with their fellow Hindu brethren in peace and happiness. Partition promised the Muslims a state of their own and the Hindus a state of their own. Most of the hindus that were living in Pakistan and Bangladesh had to all come running into India otherwise they would have been killed. Yet India has allowed the world's second largest muslim population (even though they are only 12% of the Indian population) to live there.

My first question is:

If the purpose of partition was so that the Muslims could leave India and go and live in a Muslim country, why does India still have the world's second largest Muslim population ???

My second question is:

Did the Hindus actually gain anything from partition?

P.S. I love everyone and I don't mean to offend anyone with this question.

All this is to much
I'll just stop trying

All these wasted months
trying to fix everything
but its all wrong.
I'll just stop trying.

I'll let everything slip away
and fall through the cracks
I'll just stop trying.

Who cares about me or anything else in the world?
I'll just stop trying

I'm 15 and have run out of good books to read. I like historical fiction and mystery novels. I've enjoyed books such as Among the Hidden series and Running out of Time.

Any good suggestions for my next read?

I'm taking an ethics class and the more I learn about philosophers, the more I feel they are just self rightous individuals. Take Kant for instance, he believed God didn't exist because you couldn't prove he existed. Then there was Socrates, who killed himself. Why do we hold these people on such high regard?
The conclusions drawn from the "Enlightenment" era seem just common since to me, with regards to how we should treat each other (which I learned from the Bible).
As far as people believeing we didn't start to think for ourselves before the Enlightenment (or at least the ones that don't believe in God, therefore Divine law and direction doesn't exist), how do you suppose we came up with the 10 Commandments and other laws of religous beliefs that teach us how to behave in society. If there isn't a God (which I know there is one), then who was coming up with all these rules that governed mankind before the Enlightenment. Someone must have been "enlightened" before then.

You can walk through fire
Make the north wind blow
Squeeze 'n' tease me honey
When you shake your body
You move my soul
Let me be your lover
Won't you let me be your child
Take me through your universe
Y'know that when you smile
You drive me wild

Love child
Driving me wild
Love child
Always teasin' me

You can ride your pony
Day dream in fairy tales
All I know is I need more
When I see you dance the seven veils
