Partition in India - refugees at Willingdon airport, New Del
A family who lost every male member in the frontier fighting - a forlorn group of refugees at Willingdon airport, New Delhi, after being brought by plane from one of the zones of communal strife on the borders of India and Pakistan. They were picked up at Gujranwala and brought south in a Dakota. Altogether 300, 000 Sikh and Hindu refugees were rescued by plane in September 1947, as roads were impassable with an estimated two million people on the move in East and West Punjab

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant photograph, a forlorn group of refugees, primarily Sikh and Hindu families, are seen at Willingdon Airport in New Delhi. The image captures the aftermath of the communal strife and frontier fighting that marked the Partition of India and Pakistan in 1947. The families, who had lost every male member in the violence, were rescued by plane from the volatile zones near the India-Pakistan border. The scene at the airport was a microcosm of the larger humanitarian crisis unfolding in East and West Punjab, where an estimated two million people were on the move. The roads were impassable due to the chaos and violence, making air travel the only viable option for the refugees. In September 1947, over 300,000 refugees were airlifted to safety, providing a glimmer of hope amidst the turmoil. Among the refugees in this photograph are widows and orphans, their faces etched with sorrow and despair. The family in the foreground, with their young children, cling to each other, their eyes filled with fear and uncertainty about their future. The plane in the background represents a beacon of hope, a means of escape from the violence and atrocities that had torn their lives apart. This historical photograph is a poignant reminder of the human cost of the Partition, a moment in history that continues to shape the lives of millions in the region. The image underscores the importance of compassion and solidarity in the face of adversity and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of unimaginable hardships.
