The Muslim League National Guards were a paramilitary force formed in 1931 that played a critical role in the violence during the Partition of India. This episode uncovers their organizational structure, recruitment, and actions alongside the Punjab Boundary Force and Sikh jathas. Historians estimate they had up to 100,000 volunteers by 1947, trained and armed to protect Muslim communities and later involved in attacks on refugees. We explore their leader, the retired British Indian Army officer Major General Iftikhar Ahmed Khan, and how the force was eventually disbanded by the newly formed Pakistan government. Through oral histories from the Partition Archive, we hear accounts of their presence on the Grand Trunk Road and in cities like Lahore and Amritsar. This is a lesser-known but crucial element of the chaos that accompanied the birth of India and Pakistan. #MuslimLeagueNationalGuards #PartitionOfIndia #Paramilitary #IftikharAhmedKhan #PunjabBoundaryForce #SikhJathas #GrandTrunkRoad #Lahore1947 #Amritsar #PartitionArchive #BritishIndia #RadcliffeLine #1947 #SouthAsia #History #FexingoHistory #Decolonization #Violence Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
