Separated by Partition, brothers reunite in Kartarpur after 74 years

It was a showstopper — both time and a flock of pilgrims stood still for a while to soak up the scene of two turbaned old men pat each other’s backs in a joyous embrace against the backdrop of Gurdwara Darbar Sahib at Kartarpur Sahib in Pakistan on Wednesday. The significance of that hug was not lost on anyone. It was the reunion of two octogenarian brothers separated by Partition, 74 years ago.
