There seems to be cognitive dissonance for some parties when one proposes a historical hypothesis that is at variance to their long held beliefs. One such hypothesis is the formulation of the Cambridge school of thought on how and why partition happened. Over time this hypothesis has been confirmed by documents de-classified pertaining to partition but there is still continuing hostility and resistance by those who wish to remain mired in their respective nationalist discourses and/or their own personal biases.

Two Nation Theory, Partition and Pakistan: Setting the record straight
There seems to be cognitive dissonance for some parties when one proposes a historical hypothesis that is at variance to their long held beliefs. One such hypothesis is the formulation of the Cambridge school of thought on how and why partition happened. Over time this hypothesis has been confirmed by documents de-classified pertaining to partition but there is still continuing hostility and resistance by those who wish to remain mired in their respective nationalist discourses and/or their own personal biases.
