A day before India's 78th Independence Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid tribute to those affected by the 1947 Partition. Describing it as 'a moment that tore apart several lives', he recalled the courage of those who rebuilt their lives from scratch after the upheaval. Modi's post on X marked the fourth 'Partition Horrors Remembrance Day', observed since 2021. The Partition triggered one of the largest mass migrations in history, affecting an estimated 20 million people. The PM said the day should deepen the nation's resolve to preserve harmony and work towards a 'Viksit Bharat'.
