In August 1947, the British decided to quit India, after nearly 200 years of taking power.
India, one the most ethnically diverse nations in the world was to be divided.
One country will now become two, India and Pakistan.
The once peaceful land now implodes, people are forced out of the villages that they have lived in for generations.
15 million scramble to be on the right side of the border.
At least 1 million die in the process.
Communities that have lived together for centuries, turn upon each other in one of the worst communal massacres of the 20th century.
Britain, the once great colonial power, looks on, as...
..."The Day India Burned!"
