In this episode of Fexingo History, Lucas and Luna tackle one of Partition's most disputed cartographic decisions: how the Muslim-majority district of Gurdaspur ended up in India, and how that single choice shaped the fate of Kashmir. They trace the boundary through the Punjab Boundary Commission hearings, examine Cyril Radcliffe's last-minute deliberations, and explore the role of Sir Cyril Radcliffe, Lord Mountbatten, and V.P. Menon. The episode unpacks the strategic importance of the River Chenab and Jammu Road links, the competing claims presented by the Congress and Muslim League, and the enduring conspiracy theory that the decision was politically motivated. Along the way, Lucas draws on original sources including Chaudhry Muhammad Zafarullah Khan's legal arguments and the Radcliffe Award documents. The conversation also touches on the broader legacy of the Radcliffe Line and how a single district's allocation triggered a conflict that continues today. #Gurdaspur #RadcliffeLine #Partition #Kashmir #CyrilRadcliffe #LordMountbatten #VPMenon #PunjabBoundaryCommission #RiverChenab #ChaudhryMuhammadZafarullahKhan #1947 #IndiaPakistan #BorderDispute #SouthAsia #FexingoHistory #History #ColonialLegacy #Cartography Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
