Is it like a replay of what happened during Partition in 1947?

Are there many bones still left to pick regarding this?

Was it young men involved? If so - might the violence also have been encouraged/instigated by their parents/grandparents who may still have prejudices that stem from their own experiences of persecution/displacement/forced emigration/kidnap/theft etc. etc.

I doubt it, I mean I can't speak for Birmingham but where I live in London muslims and sikhs get on fine, independance day is celebrated by both on different days, the odd fight maybe but overall it's not an issue.

Well, I live in London as well and whilst there doesn't seem to be a problem in the workplace and in a professional environment (very anecdotal evidence here though - there aren't THAT many Hindus/Sikhs/Pakistani or Afghan Muslims there), there is a definite avoidance of Hindus/Sikhs by Pakistani Sunni Muslims and vice versa. NOTE avoidance as opposed to hostility. The 'apartheid' effect is noticeable sometimes though. If you were to 'select' two ethno-religious groups who were markedly separated from each other to this day - I'm pretty sure (in London) that these would be the two (broad) ones that you might pick.

Though of course, broadly speaking, I'm sure a Muslim and a Sikh/Hindu could get on fine in a workplace environment - all I'm saying is that more often than not I have identified a reluctance of both groups to socialize with each other independently (i.e. of their own accord) in a way that I haven't seen with other ethno-religious groups. For example, I have seen Protestant Scots get along quite will with Catholic Irish in London - though this may only apply to London and say, not so much go Glasgow - but then I am guessing here - since I've never spent enough time in Glasgow to ever find out!

They were teenagers and I couldn't tell who won. It looks very intense though.

I think you've made this up. I would've heard of this if it actually happened.

OP you may love Communism, but you sound like an idiot.

'Course you did, you seem to have randomly chosen an area of Birmingham with a high population of Muslims and decided to attach some crackpot story (key word being "story" ) to it, for whatever reason.
