Q.46-50) Read RC Passage to Answer:

For thousands of Delhites who have gone through the pain of Partition in 1947, it will be a walk down memory lane when they visit the world’s second museum on Partition of India at Delhi’s Dara Shikoh Library building. For their descendants, it will be an opportunity to see what their parents and grandparents had suffered and a lesson in history about the world’s largest migration.

The purpose of the museum is to connect people with their past. It will also give visitors a sense of heritage. “History is important and the young generation should learn from the past and should not repeat the mistakes,” said the Chairperson of the Arts and Cultural Heritage Trust, Kishwar Desai. Lakhs of people were killed and displaced during Partition and people need to remember that such violence should never happen, she added.

A wooden sculpture of a horse loaded with skeletons and bones made in paper mâché style by Kashmiri artist Veer Munshi conveys the pain of people during the migration. In a few audio-visual clips, Delhi residents who decided to stay back narrated their experiences- what they saw, what happened to them, the day of Independence.

Rehabilitation was also not easy and this struggle has been depicted through a wooden “fallen house” made by Munshi. Even when a person tries to resettle, his/her house has actually fallen apart, Desai pointed out.
