Ph. D. research scholar,
Last year in 2017 we have completed 70 years of our independent and it was also the 70th anniversary of the partition of India. In this year 2018 we are going to have the 70th anniversary of the U.N. convention on the prevention and punishment of the crime of genocide. It was adopted on December 9, 1948 and after one day on December 10, 1948 United Nation adopted universal declaration of human right. It is also completing 70 years in 2018. When we see all these three incidents together we find a connection among them. After partition, India started its journey of independence with a great genocide violence in which Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs were both the perpetrators and victims of that violence. Millions of people were killed and displaced during the violence, since this violence was based on religion and perpetrators were killing the people on the basis of their religious identity. So this violence can be called as genocide on the other hand at international level, after experiencing atrocities and crimes against humanity during holocaust
