In August 1947, India gained its long-awaited independence—but it came at a devastating cost. The nation was split into two, and with the birth of Pakistan, riots erupted on both sides of the newly drawn borders, spreading like wildfire. Before citizens could even celebrate freedom, countless lives were lost in the chaos.People from every caste and economic background faced unimaginable trauma. Homes were torn apart, families brutally murdered, and thousands were looted and displaced. The pain etched deep scars—both physical and emotional—that altered the course of their lives forever. My book, Kahaniya Da Sangrah – Hallay 1947, is a powerful collection of stories capturing the tragic realities and haunting memories of those who endured the horrors of Partition.
