Generations before my grand father were zamindaars at Rasul Mandi in Pakistan,around where #KingPourva fought Alexander
2 of my uncles,older than my dad,were settled in Delhi around 1940
My 4yr old dad was sent to elder brothers for safety during 1946-47 https://twitter.com/chintskap/status/929429458188091392">https://twitter.com/chintskap...

Dadaji was with his wife,brothers, women,children & eldest son in Rasul
He thought like everyone else, that disturbance will settle in some time & family could reunite
Sadly,Partition took place & he had to leave
Locking up haveli,leaving fields in care of his muslim workers

A muslim servant accompanied him on his journey to The Indian side with his son,wife,brothers,children,a total 27 members,till a certain spot from where they had to make it alone..
..only to face the same servant with a mob of muslims,right around the border!!

Left with no choice to either die at their hands/convert,have their women suffer muslim atrocities,my grandfather kept firing at them,instructing his son to kill the entire family specially the womenhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😢" title="Weinendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Weinendes Gesicht">

You& #39;re right,but unfortunately it didn& #39;t occur & he& #39;s no more, but I& #39;m recording some accounts that my masis remember of my maternal family.
