Pakistan and India are two countries born out of the same land. The partition and its effects is one topic that will never be discussed objectively between the two due to the added political agendas but it was one of the bloodiest partitions ever to occur with one million dead, hundreds of thousands raped and violence that cannot be described in words. Families were ripped apart and people were uprooted never to come back to their real homes. The last few are left from the generation that actually witnessed the horrors and to see some of them meet the ones they loved is beautiful.
An Indian origin girl in the USA recorded her 90 year old grandfather going to meet his now Pakistani best friend. They were buddies since they were babies but the Pakistani friend had to run away for life during partition and they could never meet again. They met years later in the USA and spent a week together. This was another union of the two kids who are now 90 as they call each other by their childhood pet names and let the younger generation see what people went through.
This is the beautiful reunion:
Look how people are reacting to the beautiful reunion and the heartbreaking story:
