Here are some of the jems ....
Aug. 15, 1947: Mountbatten swears Nehru in as Prime Minister of India
TRAIN TO PAKISTAN; India 1947. Trains packed with refugees - Hindus and Sikhs headed for India, and Muslims headed for Pakistan - were convenient targets for gangs of killers on both sides of the border. Inadequately protected 'Refugee Specials' were typically stopped, and the occupants butchered, several times in the course of the journey.
The dead - Punjab, 1947
Mountbatten arrives at Delhi airport; received by Nehru and Liaquat Ali. March 25, 1947
1948: The news of Gandhi's assassination hits the streets. A stunned crowd gathers in Calcutta.
1948: Crowds in New Delhi wait for a glimpse of Gandhi's funeral procession.
A Library being divided at the time of partition. Heart trembles to see this sight and it is tough to imagine the state of the nation at the moment when people needed to hold hands.

With the tragic legacy of an uncertain future, a young refugee sits on the walls of Purana Qila, transformed into a vast refugee camp in Delhi.

Men, women and children who died in the rioting were cremated on a mass scale. Villagers even used oil and kerosene when wood was scarce.
