Step back in time to June 1947, when Lord Mountbatten proposed a division of British-ruled India. The resulting partition birthed India and Pakistan but also ignited one of the most rapid and immense migrations in human history. Amidst the chaos emerged tales of resilience as individuals transformed adversity and made enterprises that are household names that still resonate today. Join Dia Rekhi on this Independence Day special episode of The Morning Brief as she revisits those stories and explores the entrepreneurial spirit with the actual voices of that time. 

We hear from:
Dr Guneeta Singh Bhalla, Founder of The 1947 Partition Archive,
