Reliving the Wounds of Partition: A Soul-Stirring Nukkad Natak

We should never take it for granted.”

As the participants walked through the bustling streets of Mansarovar, chants of “Bharat Mata Ki Jai” and “Vande Mataram” filled the air, creating an atmosphere of national pride. The distribution of flags added a personal touch, encouraging citizens to display the Tiranga at their homes and workplaces as a mark of respect for the nation.
