    The document discusses the aftermath of the Partition of India in 1947, including the malnutrition, disease, sexual violence, and destruction of crops that plagued refugees. It also draws a parallel between the suffering during Partition and violence against Sikhs in India in 1984, noting that both events saw neighbors divided along religious lines commit terrible acts of violence against each other, despite periods of relative prosperity and secularism between the two events.
