The division led to violence, exploitation, and atrocities, displacing millions. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh also paid tribute, remembering the painful chapter of 1947 and the loss of life and property. He emphasized the nation’s commitment to strengthening social harmony. India gained independence from British rule on August 15, 1947.

Millions of families were forced to leave their ancestral homes and seek new lives as refugees.
