Cyril John Radcliffe, who was called upon to Partition India, was not a trained town planner but a barrister. With one stroke of his pen, he made millions of people homeless. What unfolded was one of the worst communal violence ever and the largest displacement in human history. The people of India and Pakistan paid a very high price for their freedom: about 15 million were uprooted, approximately 75,000 women were raped and killed, and millions died while crossing the border. These burnt spaces carry a testimony of those scars, never to be healed.
