August 15, 1947. The British Empire’s grip over India finally loosened, but freedom came at a high price. As India and Pakistan were born, so too was one of the most catastrophic migrations in history. Boundaries drawn hastily, based on religious lines, tore apart communities, families, and a shared history. What followed was chaos—over a million people lost their lives, and millions more were displaced in waves of violence between Hindus, Muslims, and Sikhs. Partition left deep scars that are still visible today, leading to decades of tension and several wars between the two nations. It is a chapter in history that left an open wound, one that remains a source of bitterness and national identity struggles.
