1947 has always been (and always will be) an ambivalent event in the history of India and Pakistan. While it meant the end of British colonial rule, it also saw the partition of one country into two and the beginning of conflicts which have lasted to this very day. As people had to leave their homes to migrate to either India or the newly formed Pakistan, it was a breeding ground for further unrest, hatred and war, which started right from the very first moment. In his short feature “Murder Tongue” Pakistani director Ali Sohail Jaura, whose “Dry Leaves” proved his willingness to tackle sensitive social issues, deals with one of the most controversial events in the history of Pakistan, the “Operation” from 1992 to 1994, which cost the lives of thousands of Urdu speaking people.
