England, having colonized India at its leisure, granted it independence with unseemly haste. Even its most outspoken nationalists were taken aback when Lord Mountbatten, the British viceroy, unexpectedly announced that the date for independence was a few months, not a few years, in the future. The British decision to pull out by Aug. 15, 1947, left a country with no orderly way to deal with the rivalries between Hindus and Muslims, and the partition of India and Pakistan along religious lines led to bloodshed, massacres and, as this film calls it, "the largest and most terrible exchange of population in history." "Earth" is a film that sees that tragedy through the eyes of a group of friends in Lahore, then in India, now in Pakistan. There are Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, Parsees, even a Christian or two. They have lived side-by-side since time immemorial, and the more idealistic think that situation can continue. But as India has proven, along with Northern Ireland, the Middle East and Yugoslavia, many members of all faiths consider it no sin to murder a non-believer.
Older Lenny: I was eight years old, living in Lahore in March of 1947, when the British Empire in lndia started to collapse. Along with talks of lndia's independence from Britain came rumblings about its division into two countries, Pakistan and lndia. Hindus, Muslims, and Sikhs who had lived together as one entity for centuries. suddenly started to clamor for pieces of lndia for themselves. The arbitrary line of division the British would draw to carve up lndia in August of 1947 would scar the Subcontinent forever.
For an event of such magnitude and intrinsic human drama, it is shocking how few films have been made on the legacy of Partition for a global audience. There is an extraordinary body of literature about the event, true, but for a region where cinema reigns supreme, the dearth of films is a glaring absence. The one exception is a nineteen-year-old film by Indian-Canadian director Deepa Mehta, Earth (1998). Throughout her career, Deepa Mehta has infused the energy of mainstream Indian cinema with fierce political consciousness.
Steffen was born in Norfolk, Nebraska, in 1947. Having trained in chemical engineering at what was then the University of Missouri in Rolla and in chemistry at the University of Florida in Gainesville, he emigrated to Australia in the late 1970s to take up a postdoctoral fellowship in X-ray crystallography at the Australian National University in Canberra. He later moved to the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), also in Canberra, to work in science management, editing and communication.
Since 1947 Earth Boring has excelled in trenchless technology. Specializing in microtunneling, guided bore / pilot tube auger boring, auger boring and directional drilling, we proudly offer a wide range of underground services including pipe ramming, hand mining, cellular grout applications, and specialized vertical shaft installation.
Success with Earth Boring begins before the field work during the planning and design phase of jobs. We work to remove known and potential challenges when the job is being planned. With experience extending back to 1947, we understand the challenges of deep sewer and watermain construction. We bring that experience to the planning room and field site.
The home of the Human race. Earth is the third planet in the Solar System, and the only one capable of sustaining life. It's crust naturally contains many deposits of the highly powerful crystal known as VK, making it a valuable source of the mineral for spacefaring races such as the Vrill. As of June 1947, the various human nations of the world are engaged in total war across the globe.
The Earth is a strategic stock of VK for the Vrill in their interstellar war with the Great Old Ones. During that war, the Mythos captured Earth from the Vrill in order to deny them that resource. As of 1947, the Great Old Ones are dormant on Earth, waiting for the Vrill to return, and when they do, the gods will wake up and fight the Vrill again.
Even today, India has witnessed a resurgence of Hindu fundamentalism that threatens to undermine the secular state created at the time of independence in 1947. Although the Indian government has attempted to adopt a policy of strict neutrality between its Hindu, Sikh, and Muslim subjects, Earth takes great pains to show the horrific communal violence that frames the rawness of the nationalistic and religious fervor in postcolonial India.
The Britishers left India in 1947. The dawn of August 14, 1947 saw the creation of Pakistan, a predominantly Muslim nation; and the midnight of August 15, 1947 welcomed the birth of a new nation, India. What shortly followed these two events is a sad tale of inhumanity, violence and atrocity for millions of displaced people.
Aamir featured in the role of an ice-candy man in 1947: Earth. The film which was a period drama was directed by Deepa Mehta and is possibly one of the best performances by the actor. The audience got to see him in negative role and everyone was astonished by Aamir's acting. The film was also India's official entry for the 1999 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.
In 1947, before Sputnik ushered in the space age, scientists conducting the Small Steps Program in New Mexico pieced together these first images of Earth taken by a camera on a V-2 rocket more than 100 miles in space. Prior to the V-2 rocket launches, the highest point for making Earth images was 13.7 miles from the Explorer II balloon in 1935.
Right after WW2, petrol was scarce in Japan. The Tachikawa Aircraft Company responded to this shortage by developing the car you see here, the Tama E4S-47-1, in 1947. The fully-electric car had a top speed of 35 kph (22 mph), a range of about 65 km (40 miles), and was powered by an array of batteries accessible from a panel below the door. Can you guess which legendary Japanese classic can trace its ancestry back to the Tama?

Halfway through Deepa Mehta's 1947, an ayah (Das) tries to repair a stuffed doll. It has been ripped into two by its owner, eight-year-old Lenny who saw adults do the same to a man because he was from another religion.
The doll's innards are spilling out. The ayah frantically stitches it with safety-pins, but she can't make it whole again. In that one scene, Mehta captures the tragedy of Partition. 1947 is a profoundly moving film.
With an unflinching but compassionate gaze, she paints the horrors of sectarian violence. 1947 neither takes sides nor judges. The performances are first-rate. Khan, making a brave career choice, is brilliant, Das is alluring, Sethna as Lenny is moving but never maudlin and Khanna is both a fine actor and pin-up material.
