Feb. 19th, 2020 01:49 pmDon’t mind me, just crying over hotheaded grandmothers who went through Partition and then moved to Anglo countries. That’s about where the similarities end (my grandma would be *livid* to be compared to a Pakistani woman, but that’s a her issue) but STILL. Did not think I would be this shook just by watching an episode of tv where the grandmother is called “Nani”. Representation, man. Wild.
Also, forever and always and from the bottom of my heart, FUCK the British in general and Mountbatten in particular. Loved the ep but it really could have done a better job of remembering that the Brits created this problem (disclaimer re Muslims who wanted their own state, who definitely did exist, but. Like. Regardless of the merits of partition as an idea, I think we all can agree the Brits fucking up the implementation was a *huge* part of the problem)
