EDITORS COMMENTS
The Greatest Trek in History: A Journey to Find Freedom from Fear - This evocative double-page spread from the Illustrated London News, published on October 4, 1947, reports on the mass migration triggered by the Partition of India and Pakistan. An estimated 4 million refugees were on the move in the Punjab region, fleeing the violence and religious tensions that erupted following the British decision to divide the subcontinent. The image captures the desperation and determination of these refugees as they embark on a perilous journey to find safety and security in a new homeland. The trek was marked by immense hardships, including food and water shortages, disease outbreaks, and the loss of loved ones. The Partition, which came into effect on August 15, 1947, is considered one of the most catastrophic events in modern history, with estimates suggesting that up to 1 million people lost their lives in the ensuing violence. This powerful photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of political upheaval and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
