New Delhi: In the partition of 1947 of India and Pakistan, many people lost their lives while some got separated from their families. On the internet, a similar story of Mumtaz Bibi is now going viral. Her story was shared online by Twitter user Man Aman Singh Chhina.
Mumtaz Bibi reportedly parted ways with her family during the 1947 India-Pakistan partition. She came to Gurdwara Darbar Sahib at Kartarpur after 75 years to meet her long last bothers Gurmeet Singh, Sardar Narendra Singh, and Sardar Amrinder Singh.
She is currently living in Pakistan with a Muslim family. During the time of the partition, she was found alone with her dead mother, who was reportedly killed by a violent mob. The family of Bibi was from the Sheikhupura district of Pakistan.
She was saved and adopted by Muhammad Iqbal and his wife Allah Rakhi. They had decided never to tell the truth to Mumtaz Bibi. However, Iqbal could not stop himself to break his promise as his health started to deteriorate some years back.
Ever since Mumtaz Bibi got the news of her past, she began searching for her biological family. Recently, they came in contact with their brothers through social media and decided to meet up.
As the news went viral on social media, many people also shared their views.

Such meetings apart from bringing tears to our eyes also unfold the magnitude of human tragedy the most hurried Partition was responsible for. https://t.co/2n6Nypbeu9
