Neil's Story

August 1947 - India and Pakistan get created

The Dilemma &amp; Challenges of Leaving Home

Even though you don’t have any enemies, it is better that you move to India

For the sake of my family it's best to leave for India

Temporary camps provided shelter to the refugee families Strangers showed kindness with food and basic necessities

Neil missed his father and was always sad Soi became close friends with Neil and was always by his side

"I am sad too but we have to move on, we need to start a new life here"

"Mom, come see who is here. Dad is alive"

"I miss my dad and how much he loved me and took care of me."

Why do we have to leave our home? Where will we go? How long is the journey? What will we eat? Will we be safe?
