It is a story in which millions sought new homes in environments that were alien and resistive. More than being a story of a violent divide based on faith and religion it is also a story of how a way of life and ages of co-existence came to a sudden and dramatic end”, he said.
Darshan Singh, Ex-MLA at Ludhiana; Harichand Singh, senior citizen and son of Freedom Fighter Balwinder Singh at Fatehgarh Sahib; and Mandeep Singh, prominent senior citizen at Ropar, also attended the inaugural function.
