The charred bones of people who were immolated during the 1947 Rawalpindi massacres. In March of that year, the vicious mobs of the Muslim League committed assaults on local Sikhs and Hindus. Non-Muslims were forcibly converted, raped, and murdered. As many as 7000 Sikhs and Hindus were killed, and thousands more fled the area. Many women, fearful of rape and sexual slavery, opted to commit suicide.

"The way that the West has moved on to shape concepts like international law ... the concepts of human rights ... ultimately they don't go back to Greek philosophers, they don't go back to Roman imperialism, they go back to [Saint] Paul."
