While carnages occurred in Calcutta and Noakhali in 1946, the Partition was the most bloody and destructive in Punjab. The near-total displacement of Hindus and Sikhs eastwards into India from West Punjab and of almost all Punjabi-speaking Muslims to Pakistan happened in a relatively short period of two years between 1946 and 1948. |
