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.
