So even retaliation during partition is not justifiable, this is exactly what Gandhi wanted Hindus to do, offer themselves up to be butchered like goats are butchered on bakrid by Muslims. If we followed this today East Punjab would be full of Muslims (the same Muslims who were hoping that whole Punjab was going to go into Pakistan) and the same Muslims who would have butchered Hindus and Sikhs if they had enough numerical strength or if East Punjab went to Pakistan. In that case what advice would you have given the Hindus and Sikhs of East Punjab.
