What is curious about this development is that the subcontinent has preferred to forget the monstrous injustices that have scarred its recent history. A million people lost their lives in the savagery of the subcontinent’s partition into India and Pakistan, and 13 million more were displaced, most forcibly.
这一发展的有趣之处是，印度次大陆更愿意忘掉在最近的历史留下深刻伤痕的灾难性不公正。印度和巴基斯坦的分离导致一百万人死于暴行，1300万人流离失所（大部分人是被迫的）。但从没有一个人因此治罪，更不用说受到审判和惩罚了。
