The Legend of Malerkotla -
A Tale From The Punjab
Documentation (47 min.)

After the holocaust, the Partition of the Punjab in 1947 was the most dastardly act of genocide in the 20^th century. Determined to Balkanize the Indian subcontinent as the parting price for independence. The British tacitly encouraged the Muslim League in the Punjab to embark on a process of ethnic cleansing and this accelerated once the Hindus and Sikhs retaliated. As the violence became unmanageable, Partition was inevitable. Through this mayhem, there was only one peace in the Punjab, and that was the tiny Muslim ruled principality of Malerkotla.

The film delves into the perplexing questions of how Hindu's and Mulisms can live peacefully and profitably in the Indian sub-continent and shows how the inhabitants of the Mulims majority town of Malerkotla in Indian Punjab have lead the way in this endeavor.
