The day the nation split
It’s an idea whose time should have come decades ago, but until yesterday India had no museum dedicated to the biggest, and perhaps the bloodiest, migration in human history — the 1947 Partition.

That changed with the soft launch and curtain raiser of the Partition Museum in Amritsar’s Town Hall last evening. Initiated by The Arts and Cultural Heritage Trust, the idea gained support soon after it was floated last year with contributions from Soni Razdan, Alia Bhatt and Kunal Kapoor among others.
