♤ There were brutal killings, atrocities, rapes, on both sides of the border.

♤ The cities like Lahore, Amritsar, Kolkata (then Calcutta) got divided into "Communal Zones".

♤ In many cases women were killed by their own family members to preserve the 'family honor'.

♤ Everything was divided then from tables, chairs to government officials.

♤ It is estimated that the Partition forced about 80 lakhs people to migrate across the new border.

♤ Between five to 10 lakh people were killed in Partition related violence.
