Lyrics: #navneetvirk
Partition of India saw the largest mass migration of world. Millions of people; be it Hindus, Muslims or Sikhs were displaced and resulted in massive number of fatalities. While there are ample theories revolving around the conspiracies relating to the birthing of need and want for partition; the lines were drawn not just on papers but on the sentiments of thousands of people living on the borders and across the nation. To choose a ground to lay their mortals on the basis of religious ideologies and philosophies was tough. The sense of trust was lost forever, on leaders who turned into politicians. Unaware of the selfish gains the men at power harboured, innocent people were massacred brutally in the name of misunderstanding walls built.
Undecided and suddenly orphaned children of the motherland ran into the directions they thought was best for them. Whoever knew what future beheld for them. It broke hearts: of children, of lovers, of neighbors, of everyone who hadn't even in the scariest nightmare thought of this untimely separation from the loved ones. Partition left people lost with wounds, vagueness, ambiguity; being irreparably broken and torn.
"Baant lena parinde,
Baant le hawa ye.."
The lines of division could but be drawn only on land. The sky and winged creatures flew boundlessly, then and now. The fragrance of similarity and uniqueness we share with our once upon a time neighbor, still smells fresh and alike. May be, leaving us with a tinge of hope of harnessing peace, someday.
