*It's funny how BREXIT is taking so much time and on the other hand Radcliffe who didn't even know India very well, was allotted 5 weeks to divide one of the oldest civilization into two parts.*

[yogeshjhala]

Pain of all those people's who faced partition can not be described in words.

This video made me cry like a waterfall, so profound was my grief that I remembered my ancestors in Bengal / Assam border, 😰

I was luckily enough to actually meet Rani's mother. I actually met her at a clinic I was attending with my baby niece and sister. I didn't even realise who she was until she told me. Rani's mother mentioned this documentary to me. After watching it and knowing what happened to my people in the Punjab, really upset me. This story has really touched my soul. I'm so glad that this story has been told. I hope we all learn from the past and never forget all those that lost their lives.

I am from Punjab, my sister. My grandparents also fled across the border. They lived but had to start over, losing everything. At least it was only material goods. We are from Lahore, originally. I am sorry you lost your family.

[sunitasunita]

I am also crying with you. My anncesstors were also from pakistan😢😢😢😢😢😢

[rajindersinghdhiman]

So heart wrenching story, hell to the demons who carried out barbaric acts on hapless women in the name of religion. All disgusting.

[bhushanjawade]

No buddy talk about Sindhis because most of them are Hindus they also lost a lot

[jeevisingh]

All of this was because of the British

[jaspalrai]

Very sad emotionally horrific. Our family also survivor of 1947 Partion.

[redfoxht]

My family live only 1 km away from chak 47, an old man told me the story of chak 47, very very sad story. My mother was lost from her parents during migration also.

[ranababarali]

[GurpreetSingh-vskg]

My mother's grandmother. She is now almost 90 years old, her parents and siblings also killed in that tragic event. It was more like the partition of Bengal and Punjab than the partition of India. Punjabi's and Bangali's suffered the most during the partition, pay big price for independent

[bhuddazai]

Very much emotional couldn't control my tears. May God save even our worst enemy from such tragedies.

[fathimakhatun]

Glad to see Punjabi people in Pakistan still speaking their mother toungue instead of following paan chewing Urdu people !! Pakistan is a strange country where language of soil is denied.

[kiranjoshi]

My heart goes with you! So sad! Really, could not stop tears coming out...although me, my family did not suffered anything due to partition....but still, my humble respects and tributes to all those victims of partition...

My father's uncle came from Karachi. Started over in a small village in India. Lost everything. He saw horrifying violence as a kid. Minorities in today's Pakistan faced far worse atrocities than India.

Punjabi lahar and desi infotainer channels may be helpful because they always upload partition stories of 1947
