The Partition of India in 1947 was the change of political borders and the division of other assets that accompanied the dissolution of the British Raj in the Indian subcontinent and the creation of two independent dominions in South Asia: India and Pakistan. It left countless people displaced, forcing them to leave behind their cherished belongings as they moved to new homes. Now, a video is going viral on social media where a man from Lahore received a door, symbol of home and memories from Batala to Mumbai, then Dubai, Karachi and finally to Lahore, where Prof Amin Chohan lives.
