“We have to leave.” 1947. It was considered one of the most memorable years in Indian history. The year of freedom. But every coin has two sides. While the country celebrated, cries for mercy floated across a newly created border. A free country was now being split into two. Padma Bajaj is an unapologetic, headstrong and progressive woman and an advocate for education, especially for girls. Ever since she got married as a young girl, however, she has been searching for a place to call home. But when her family knows of the Partition of India and Pakistan, they know that they have to leave, as each day passes with a struggle to remain safe. Padma has to migrate from Pakistan to the new nation – Hindustan, leaving behind everything her family had built. But is it really possible to make it across safely when the countries are in turmoil? Is it possible to piece life back together again?
