A
s India gears up to celebrate 78th Independence Day, spiritual leader Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev released a video on his social media, stirring up a humanitarian question on the India-Pakistan partition.
He released the video on the occasion of 'Partition Horrors Remembrance Day,' which is observed to pay homage to the victims of partition and acts as a solemn reminder of the largest displacement of the human population in the country's history.
"Why was partition done?" Over a million people died and seven million were forced to migrate due to it," he said in the video.
He further said that it wasn't a religious question but a question of humanity.
"This is not a religious question. It is a question of humanity. If your humanity is alive, this question must be asked and answered for our generation and particularly for the coming generation," he said.
"Even now, the nation doesn't have the courage to face these questions and find answers to them. I feel the coming generation musk ask these questions," he asserted.a
