In northern India there was a fairly balanced exchange, with 6,000,000 Moslems fleeing to Pakistan and 6,500,000 Hindus and Sikhs entering India. But since partition, 4,300,000 Hindus from East Pakistan have fled to India, for the most part into West Bengal. There has been no comparable flight of Moslems.

How would the impoverished Van Gogh have greeted the news that 80 years after his death his later oils would routinely go for anything between $250,000 and $1,000,000 to exactly...
