Re: My impressions of Pakistan have changed
My grandmother spoke Punjabi in a funny way, and as kids we used to laugh & giggle trying to mimic her.
She actually came to India by train with the kids (without any male members), since my grandfather was way on business (Sept / Oct 1947), and the killing had started in their area. In panic she had to leave.
When she reached Delhi - there was riots taking place outside the Old Delhi Station, and she was warned by a kind hearted porter, who told her that the way she spoke & was dressed, they would all be murdered becuse they looked like muslims.
After days at the station - she took another train to go to Jhansi. Such were the stories of survival we heard and grew up with. Grand dad come back later via Kabul in 2 months, having no idea if his family had survived or not?!!!
