“Why was partition done?” This question needs to be answered for the next generation: Sadhguru

Spiritual leader SadhguruThe social media account has posted a touching video in which she talks about her haunting memories of India. SplitIn this video, Sadhguru, in conversation with the author Vikram Sampathreflects on the devastating consequences of the 1947 Partition, which resulted in the massacre of one million people and the forced displacement of between 6 and 7 million people.

“Why were certain things done the way they were done? Why Partition?” asks Sadhguru, stressing the need for the nation to find the courage to face the harsh realities of the past and seek answers to these lingering questions.

He further explains that the issues surrounding Partition are not religious but humanitarian, and that they need to be examined. “Even now, the nation does not have the courage to face these issues and find answers to them. I think the next generation should ask itself these questions,” he says.

Sadhguru stresses the importance of younger generations asking about these events, citing the plight of 6 million people who were forced to flee their homes and livelihoods, with many still living in refugee camps 75 years later.

“If you put your humanity to sleep, you can forget everything,” says Sadhguru. “But if your humanity is alive, these questions must be asked and answered, by our generation and, in particular, by the future generation.”
