From Lahore to New Delhi- Curfew, Gunshots and Run for Life | 1947 Partition Stories

Partition of India Pakistan has been one of the most defining events of our struggle for independence, that lead to the largest migration in human history and displaced around 20 million people.

But unfortunately the voices of people who lived through partition of India have not been documented well.

Today's independence day special episode is an attempt to share my grandmother’s story with all of you. She was 5 years old when the partition took place, but all the gruesome experiences she had are still alive in her memories.

I have split the whole narrative into following sections:

0:00- Introduction
1:04- Life in Lahore before partition
3:34- Dreadful day of partition: curfew, gunshots and run for life
7:21- Survival without food and shelter
10:14- The hard times of 1947 partition
12:28- Going back for the one last time
13:33- The new beginning
15:15- Message for peace

I hope you enjoy watching the video, as much as we enjoyed filming it! Happy Independence Day 
