Partition Horrors Remembrance Day: Not a mere part of history, but etched in our national consciousness, says CM Pushkar Singh Dhami

Uttarakhand CM Pushkar Dhami honors Partition victims, says the tragedy remains etched in India's consciousness ahead of Independence Day.

"This event is not merely a part of history but an eternal anguish etched in our national consciousness – Pushkar Singh Dhami"

Dehradun, August 14

As India observes the Partition Horrors Remembrance Day on Thursday, Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami noted that "This event is not merely a part of history but an eternal anguish etched in our national consciousness".

On August 14, India observes 'Partition Horrors Remembrance Day' to pay tribute to those who lost their lives and were displaced during the country's partition in 1947.

India is all set to celebrate its 79th Independence Day on Friday. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will hoist the national flag on the occasion at the Red Fort in Delhi.

In a post on X, CM Dhami said, "On Partition Horrors Remembrance Day, we pay homage to all the departed souls who displayed patience and courage even in adverse circumstances"

"The line of communal division devastated countless families and wounded the soul of the nation. Deprived of their homes, livelihoods, and memories, millions of families were forced to endure the pain of displacement. This event is not merely a part of history but an eternal anguish etched in our national consciousness," the post read.

A day earlier, ahead of Independence Day, CM Dhami led the Tiranga Yatra from Gandhi Park, Dehradun, with public representatives, thousands of youth, students, women and children holding the tricolour in their hands with the echo of 'Bharat Maa Ki Jaikar, Vande Mataram'.

The CM encouraged the people present, especially the youth. He also launched the 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign scheduled to take place from August 13 to 15. The Chief Minister led the Tiranga Yatra amidst the tunes of patriotic songs. The CM greeted the youth and also wished everyone a Happy Independence Day in advance.

While remembering partition is important, I wish our leaders would focus more on building bridges with our neighbors today. Constant reminders of past pain won't help future generations move forward.

My nani used to tell us how they walked for days with just the clothes on their back. These stories must be preserved and taught in schools. Jai Hind!

As someone who studied Indian history, I'm glad to see this being commemorated. The human cost of partition was staggering - over 1 million lives lost and 15 million displaced. We must honor their memory.

While we remember the pain, let's also celebrate how far we've come as a nation in 76 years. From partition to becoming the world's largest democracy - that's our real strength 💪
