When the 75 -year -old Sikka Khan fell into his 80 -year -old brother Sadiq Khan's arms, the two elderly people shed tears of sadness and joy. This is the first time that the brothers have met since Indo -Pakistan's division in 1947. A hug spanning for 75 years is full of missing and desire for a generation.

On August 15, 1947, India's secondary continent was divided into two independent countries -India and Pakistan. During the division of governance, the Islamic escape in the Islamic region in the Hindu area, opposite to the Islamic region, Hindus and Sikhs in the Islamic region fled to the Hindu region, many of them were migration and became refugees into refugees. Essence The large -scale population flow in a short period of time triggered a major chaos, especially in the Punjab area, the conflict and riot, massacre and revenge between the two religors. According to Richard Simonz's research, even the most conservative estimation, at least 500,000 people were killed in the conflict, and 12 million people were homeless.

Many families who are in chaos and atrocities have been forced to separate. Although many people are desperately looking for family members through newspaper advertisements, letters, and information on the notice board, a family book that crosses the border is difficult to reach the other side after all. The deep -rooted fear also prevented most people from crossing the border.

With the development of the times, social media opened a new way for these families separated from the two places. Facebook pages and YouTube channels on many Indo -Pakistani regions have spontaneously opened a passage channel. A photo of a photo or a name, a brief description of a village or a house. These clues are widely shared by people on both sides of the border and netizens around the world. The two brothers were able to gather after 75 years of separation.

It is understood that a few years ago, a real estate agent Nasir Dylon in the Punjab area next to Pakistan established a channel called "Punjab Lehar" on YouTube. Essence

Thanks to the Donron's channel, the two brothers of Sika and Sadick found each other again. A Muslim family, born in the 75 -year -old Sika, was born in Pun in India. When the division broke out, he was only six months old. At that time, he and his mother were forced to take refuge in a local Sikh family after leaving home. After several weeks of the massacre, Xika's father, his 10 -year -old brother and 8 -year -old sister have no trace. To this end, Sika's mother died distressed, and the young Sika grew up by a Sikh family in the village.

Sika has been looking for the news of his family after adulthood, especially his favorite brother Sadik. He made a lot of calls and wrote hundreds of letters to Pakistan's address, but it was nothing to help. Sika was unmarried in his life. He said, "No family is around, I always feel that there is a little less, so I always feel wrong."

In 2019, an accidental opportunity, a friend in the village saw a YouTube video on the Internet. In the video, an 80 -year -old man living in Pakistan is trying to find a lost brother. Fortunately, the Pakistani old man was Sidik's brother Sadick.

The two elderly people quickly contacted and chatted every day through video calls. During the chat, Sika finally knew the whereabouts of his family: his father was murdered in a attack, his brother and sister fled to a border refugee camp, the sister died there, and brother Sadik came to Pakistan. Sadick settled in Fasapabard and had six children and a few grandchildren, but like Sikak, Sadick did not miss his brother from the two places one day.

Due to visa problems and epidemic reasons, the brothers did not meet for three years after they got in touch. But in January this year, they finally reunited in the Caltapar Corridor. After meeting the two brothers, they cried, and they all said: "I have lived for so long to meet with my loved ones."

In April this year, Sika finally got a visa for three months in Pakistan, and Sadik then took his brother back to Pakistan for two months. Sika said: "Now I don't worry about anything. I just want to see my brother and stay with him." However, Sika added that he was also very angry: "Why do they split this country and split me. Family? Many people still have not found their family, or visas who have not obtained transit cannot be reunited with my family. I am lucky. "

At present, the YouTube channel of Nasir Dylon has produced about 800 videos, and more than 300 people have found relatives to reunite through his videos. Donon said: "Everything I do is because of my roots, we may live in two countries, but our hearts are still together. I pray that there will be no such division in anywhere in the world. This is one Cruel things. "
