I was often told stories about the Partition by my parents and my grandmother (see Dedication). I often wondered what it was really like for those who had experienced the Partition and had gone through those difficult times. The generations which followed have not encountered such tragedies as their parents and grandparents. For me personally it was a step back in time - I learned about my families origins from the older generation of my community. Today, we are witnessing tragedies of human persecution as a result of the conflict of religious beliefs and cultural backgrounds.

     It is hoped that this web site may give an understanding of the way in which people have experienced mass exodus and promote compassion in everyone for their fellow human beings. We often forget a simple principle - that all human beings are equal regardless of their age, gender, colour, disability, cultural or religious beliefs. Therefore, we should not discriminate against those who we find different from ourselves but learn, understand, appreciate and enjoy our differences. We should also remember those Muslims who died in the conflicts of 1947 and hope that we, find better ways of living with each other and our beliefs.
