EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures a moment of desperation and hope during the tumultuous period following the Partition of India and Pakistan in 1947. The image shows a lorry loaded with Sikh and Hindu refugees, ready to cross the Wagah Bridge between India and Pakistan, marking the border between the two newly-independent nations. The mass migration was triggered by widespread violence and atrocities against religious minorities, forcing hundreds of thousands to flee their homes in search of safety and asylum. The bridge, which was once a symbol of unity and connection between the two countries, now became a gateway to an uncertain future. The refugees, many of whom are seen clinging to the sides of the lorry or sitting on top of each other, carry only what they could carry – their most precious belongings and the hope of starting a new life. The scene is a stark reminder of the human cost of political upheaval and the enduring resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
