The world’s first Partition Museum was inaugurated recently at Amritsar in Punjab. The museum exhibits photographs, newspaper clippings and the donated personal items that depict India's struggle for freedom from the colonial rule. It also portrays that how India's Independence in 1947 was one of the most violent episodes where communal clashes left hundreds of thousands displaced. The museum screens the video interviews with the now-elderly survivors of the partition. The last part of the museum is the 'Gallery of Hope', where the visitors are invited to scribble messages of love and peace on the leaf-shaped papers before hanging them on a barbed wire tree.
