PM has declared that August 14 will be observed as ‘Partition Horrors Remembrance Day’ to acknowledge the pain undergone by Indians due to the partition of India in 1947.

The recorded horrors of partition:-

About 2 million people killed in the most brutal ways.
An estimated 1,00,000 women kidnapped and raped.
More than 15 million men, women and children displaced.
Loss of territory and people to the west and the east.
Worst of the horrors seen in Punjab and Bengal (colonial insensitivity in the thoughtless partition).
