Independence Day 2019: These rare pictures of India’s struggle for freedom will take you back to 1947 horror!

Whenever we heard the saga of India’s freedom of struggle from the British rule, it always gives us the goosebumps. Every year on 15 August, the nation remembers how India got freed from British Raj rule. Also, it was the time when India got divided into two separate countries i.e. India and Pakistan.

Because of partition, there was complete chaos as millions of people have to relocate to their new homes. A large number of population was shifted to a new country one the boundary was drawn.

The dividing of the country also led to the religious riots along with the act of oppression and cruelty marked a dark blot in the history of India and Pakistan.
