1947 witnessed the biggest mass migration in history of the Indian sub-continent. The British devised a partition plan while leaving the sub-continent and two newly independent states were created India and Pakistan. These were the people who crossed over the newly formed boundaries either by choice or force. To execute this herculean task of providing basic amenities like foods, clothing and shelter to these refugees a separate ministry of Relief and Rehabilitation was created by the government of India in September 1947. Several schemes such as the provision of education, employment opportunities, and easy loans to start businesses were made available to the refugees at the all India level. This book contains numerous account and stories of hope and cheer. As India is celebrating 75 years of its independence the book will definitely take the readers back to those difficult times to understand one of the greatest tragedies that happened in the 20th century. The present generation will know the tales of millions, who started their journey of life afresh.
