WHEN Partition happened, I was 18 and a full-time pracharak with the RSS. In Sialkot, district Narwal, where I lived, I tried to organise Hindus to fight, learn to repulse Muslim attacks. I remember 1947 all too vividly. I recall selling our house in Lahore for a pittance: Rs 3,000 when the market price was a lakh. The sight of Hindu women stripped in public, breasts slashed, genitals mutilated. I saw 500 women take jalsamadhi in Atak river to escape being raped by Muslim rioters.
