who do you think you are

Those tears were real. It's so difficult to imagine. Hard to believe that happening just after the war finished, but we were not really told much about it, even though Britain was involved. It just did not come into our history, did it.
I found out a few years ago that someone in my father's family married when he was out in India at the time of the Raj, but never really looked into it that much.
I liked her reaction to the uncle who had bought her family inheritance for £30. Pleased she found such a big family presence that she knew nothing about before she found out about the women.

Poor Anita, I bet she did not envisage having a family history like that. How awful knowing stuff like that happening to your ancestors. Probably similar to having your Jewish family lost in the Holocaust.
While I knew ethnic conflict was bad during partition I did not know that sort of stuff went on. Such stories of the violence after Partition in India does not seem to be so well documented as the Holocaust. It must have been a dreadful shock for her she is roughly the same age as my son.

gordino I don't understand the question. So yes maybe you are to clever.

Gordino. If that was a serious post, why don't you piss off to somewhere where your superior brain will be appreciated.

Here is a Daily Mail quiz you could do, to see whether you are clever enough to join Mensa.

Indeed Gordino. a bit of respect please. (just looked in case Peter Gordeno was of Northern Indian descent- and therefore would have known about the events- but he was not).

The story has haunted me last night- and I keep wondering what Anita will 'do' about this in the future- whether it will bring her closer to her family, or perhaps drive them further apart. She has chosen to not follow the Sikh religion and to wear western clothes and become very westernised (even wearing skimpy short on one of her early visit there in the programme- and then her dress became more and more respectful of the culture, long trousers and a scarf on many occasions).

The story of the wells is particularly haunting- as if they were full to the brim, it would have meant the women didn't die instantly and must have suffered for many days perhaps. Just can't get the picture out of my head and heart.

gordino - you state you are too clever for this site, that doesn't come across, you don't seem to make any salient points or make any contribution to the conversation, just one liners that seem completely disconnected to the thread. Then you add the inane lol, as if you have posted something witty, you haven't! It's hard to know what your point is!

Yep! You're dead right gordino, do us a favour dear.
