All those acquainted with Indian history, know August 17 is a crucial day in the history of the Partition of India. It was on this day when the destiny of millions were sealed. Today, 70 years later, a small museum in Amritsar has decided to mark the traumatic event that led to 12 million people crossing the border.
Co-founder and CEO Mallika Ahluwalia said, “It's a people's museum. It's not about assigning blame, but to acknowledge the experience of those who lived through it.” In one of that rooms, an installation of a well serves as a reminder of the violence, rape, and honour killings endured by women.
