The only place in India which saw a major clean-up on both sides - was the Punjab.
As a result, muslims were cleared out of East Punjab, and Sikhs and Hindu's from West Punjab.
However this was not Govt policy- it was as a result of revengee killings on both sides - started bu muslims, but with "double dose" jawaab by sardars and hindus.
That had the great effect of stopping killings by the muslis - and cleared East Punjab.
My family was part of that great struggle, so I have many first hand stories of lost/killed relatives, and on the flip side the other way too.
