"The South Asian mindset is only now starting to come out being colonized," says @iFaqeer halfway through this episode. And The Ashrafs launch into a discussion of the basics of the South Asian Origin Story. Was it a Partition or Independence? What exactly led to Pakistan coming into existence? We also cover what @AfricaIsACountry recently quoted Yasmin Khan describing as the rupturing of community evolution, and distortion of historical trajectories.

One small correction we should offer is that Aurangzeb's mother was not Hindu. His grandmother and great grandmother most probably were.You will also hear mention of, or find background material at:

* Macaulay's Children.

* The Comprador Class. There is a very interesting paper on the comprador class in the Pakistani context here.

* Justice Makarand Katju's reference to Partition as a "British Swindle".

* The Sepoy Mutiny, if you will. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Rebellion_of_1857

* William Dalrymple and his work.

* Babus.

* The Bollywood Movie Lagaan.

* The Khilafat Movement.
