The people of India had gained independence from the British rule by making lakhs of sacrifices, but with the independence of India, the country was also partitioned.
Due to hatred and violence in the horrors of the Partition of India, lakhs of people had to be displaced and many even lost their lives. The pain of struggle and sacrifice of those people is being conveyed through pictures.
