May Allah swt bless our mujahideen. These are the men closest to Him, who are we in their presence?
I was very much inspired by your stories on this thread. May Allah swt bless your grandfather, family, you, and all others who love with country.
I too remember the stories of my bozorg who left Hoshiarpur/Gurdaspur (extreme north of East Punjab) during partition. Even though we were Muslim majority, we were forcibly removed by the Indians to launch the invasion of Kashmir.
Then I remember how we had to hide our womenfolk from Hindu and Sikh maruaders, and how people had to walk over dead Muslim bodies to get to Pakistan. We were totally unarmed, and as a matter of fact, we were disarmed right before this plan as well by British, Hindu, and Sikh collusion.
We lost 1 million of our people, and 14 million became homeless. It was the biggest catastrophe the world had ever seen.
