The ‘Partition Horrors Remembrance Day’ has been envisaged to bring to light the agony, suffering, and pain of millions of people who were the victims of Partition. It serves as a solemn reminder of the largest displacement of human population in our country’s history, an event that claimed countless lives and forever altered the nation’s social fabric.
The exhibition is a collaborative effort between the Indian Council of Historical Research (ICHR) and the Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts (IGNCA). It provides a reflective and educational experience, offering visitors an in-depth understanding of the tragic events surrounding partition.
In addition to Rajiv Chowk, a similar exhibition is also displayed at Kashmere Gate Metro station, ensuring that more commuters have the opportunity to engage with this important piece of history.
