If you think the nine dash line is comical, you're going to LOVE the British drawn India-Pakistani border with the most important Sikh holy site in muslim majority Pakistan! After you have a chuckle at that, you can ask the native americans how much fun they had with map drawing lunatics during the colonization of the Americas.

As far as I understand for that at least, the divisions/districts were divided based on religion, because that's what the demand of the leaders who wanted Pakistan was. So Pakistan got every Muslim majority district on the west of the current Indian state. Is it possible the Sikh holy site you are talking about was a Muslim majority division/district?

But your point does underscore my point, look at all the chaos that line drawing left in the world. That's all the more reason to call out the comical claims that are being enforced now.

Your generalized claims and whataboutism are again underscoring my point.

If what you have written is true, do you want the same to be inflicted into new sets of people by a hegemonic power.

Please do not post in the flamewar style to HN. It's not what we want here.

I apologize about the structure of my last statement, it came out like that because of the tone of the parent comment and the constant whataboutism and general misinformation(like "valid old claims") we see in these threads. It gets tiring after a while.

I don't understand why my other comment down the thread was flagged by you though.

Do you mean https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24563331? For two reasons: because it perpetuated the flamewar, and because 'whataboutism' breaks the site guideline against name-calling (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...).
