The exhibition vividly portrays the horrors of partition and its profound impact on our shared history. The exhibitions were formally thrown open in the presence of public representatives and eminent senior citizens.
The 'Partition Horrors Remembrance Day' has been envisaged to bring to light the agony, suffering, and pain of millions of people who were the victims of Partition. It serves as a solemn reminder of the largest displacement of the human population in our country's history, an event that claimed countless lives and forever altered the nation's social fabric.
In addition to Rajiv Chowk, a similar exhibition is also displayed at Kashmere Gate Metro station, ensuring that more commuters have the opportunity to engage with this important piece of history. The exhibitions will be available for public viewing until August 21, 2024.
