Sufferings of women during partition of the Punjab ( 1947) || Punjab Today

Описание: The ‘Great Divide‘ of #british India and subsequent creation of the independent nation-states of India and Pakistan in 1947, and eventually #bangladesh in 1971, was a life altering event for the #millions who were displaced and forced to migrate. It was the biggest mass migration in the world of about 12 million people, with around 1 million #dying in the process. About 75,000 #women were thought to have been raped, #abducted or killed during the whole ordeal. It was also recorded widely in both the Indian and #international #media, the celebratory news of #independence as well as the horrors of #partition.For a long time while studying #partition the emphasis was on analysing or documenting the role of #political figures, the events that led to the partition and during the partition. It was after the 1984 anti-Sikh riots that scholars and women activists started looking into the human suffering during the partition, and the #harrowing experiences of women came to light
