Watch | Partition Museum to commemorate the past

“[We] assure you with the utmost sincerity that distance has not made the slightest difference in our love and affection for you; that we remember you, and remember you very often, with the same brotherly feeling that for so long characterized our relations.”The words are from a letter written to Amar Kapur, by his friend, Asif Khwaja on April 6, 1949, after the Kapur's left Lahore after Partition. The Kapur's lived at 7, Egerton Street in Lahore and had stayed on after Partition until they finally left their home on September 5, 1947. The pain of leaving his home is still etched in Amar's memory, he remembers the time when they left, 4.30 pm.Many of us have heard such stories in our families or others, of suffering and of longing. The memories were hardly documented, let alone establishing a Partition museum.
