Amar Kaur (96) fondly remembers the rare incidents of brotherhood between Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs that saved her and many others.
One of the few living survivors of the 1947 mayhem, Amar Kaur says their Muslim neighbours in Icchra (Lahore) first protected them and later took pains to locate them in India and send them their household goods.
When she reached her parental house at Khanpur (Hoshiarpur) after days of travelling on bullock carts, she was amazed to find that her family had been protecting the young daughter of a Muslim neighbour.
