Partition Horrors Remembrance Day

Hypothetically speaking, if I were the Supreme Court judge today, I would have, Suo moto, tried the British Government for crime against humanity, for all they did in India during 1700s until 1947, including the charge for committing arson under section 435 and 436 under Indian Penal Code 1860, for a willful and malicious intent to set fire to a property to cause damage.
India was one of the largest countries in the world where these arsonists came to do trade in 1600s, and found that the hosts were very welcoming and the host country was supremely rich with practically everything available under the sun to fulfill all the desires of men; in fact to such an extent that even the idea of what to desire could be found only here in this land. It was here they found that from absolute spiritual need on one extreme to the most materialistic ones on the other end were all extant here.
With very few thousands of their own men, they managed to rule over a large part of the entire earth with much ease. They not only stole cash and kind over a period of 250 odd years that is worth in today’s valuation at about US $ 45 trillion but did everything to almost completely destroy a civilization that existed for several thousand years by uprooting the beautiful tree from its roots.
These arsonists not only wanted to loot massively but also wanted to burn the property before running away.
Burn they did.
Not satisfied with the heist, they simultaneously started laying foundation for arson almost 150 years before their departure.
How did they do that?
End result
How to get closure of the horror remembrance?
In closing, I would say that we need to go beyond this Partition Horrors Remembrance Day to Partition Horrors Closure Action Plan. The ruling establishment needs spine for that, though, which is missing as of now.
Hindus’ DNAs do have those genes but are dormant right now.
Will our rishis bless us to make these genes active?
Only time and our karma will inform us.
