We have spent the last twenty episodes tracing the human cost of the Radcliffe Line, from the trains filled with corpses to the women who buried the dead. But we rarely looked at the map itself until it was too late. In this episode, Lucas and Luna examine how Sir Cyril Radcliffe, a British lawyer with no knowledge of India, used rivers as natural borders in Punjab and Bengal. We explore the specific tragedy of Gurdaspur, where the loss of two Muslim-majority tehsils determined whether Kashmir would join India or Pakistan, and how the division of the Sutlej and Beas river systems left millions without water or land. This is a story about cartography as violence, where a pen stroke on a map in London created immediate famine conditions in West Punjab and forced a military emergency in East Punjab. #CyrilRadcliffe #RadcliffeLine #PartitionOfIndia #Gurdaspur #SutlejRiver #BeasRiver #JammuKashmir #LordMountbatten #PunjabBoundaryCommission #BengalBoundaryCommission #VPMenon #IndianIndependenceAct #1947History #SouthAsia #ColonialLegacy #Cartography #FexingoHistory #History #Documentary #Humanities Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
