Silence

T1339240095
"It was a great tragedy. We were friends one day and enemies the next. I will take these things to my grave." The 1947 partition of the Indian subcontinent into India and Pakistan saw millions uprooted and resulted in unspeakable violence. It would shape modern Britain forever. Witnesses to this brutal moment in history live among us, yet the stories of that time remain shrouded in silence.
