The 14th of August 1947 was the historic day when British colonial rule ended and India won its independence.

A new nation was also born - Pakistan. The border lines created on a hastily drawn map.

What followed was on an unprecedented level - 15 million people swapped countries as Muslims, Hindus and Sikhs feared discrimination if they stayed where they were. The mass migration cost more than a million lives.

There have been three wars between India and Pakistan since Independence Day, divided Kashmir remains disputed, and religious and ethnic intolerance continues.

But that has not stopped the celebrations throughout the two countries. A 31-gun salute marked the occasion in Pakistan's capital Islamabad.

Presenter: Sohail Rahman

Guests:

Raza Karim - International lawyer and activist based in Lahore, Pakistan

Gurharpal Singh - Professor of Sikh and Punjab Studies, School of Oriental and African Studies, London

Uday Bhaskar - Director, Society for Policy Studies, New Delhi, India
