Look: Indian, Pakistani friends meet 75 years after partition at border town in Pakistan

They say friendship has no boundaries. The saying is certainly true for Taj Muhammad and Sardar Manohar Singh. The two friends — separated during the partition of India and Pakistan — finally greeted each other with a warm hug after 75 years on Tuesday. The reunion took place at the landmark Kartarpur Corridor.

Taj Muhammad — who lives in Okara, Pakistan — lost contact with Sardar Manohar Singh after the 1947 partition, reported Geo TV. They managed to reconnect through social media and decided to meet.

The Project Management Unit (PMU), Gurdwara Darbar Sahib Kartarpur, shared pictures of the heartwarming reunion on Twitter. Sardar Manohar Singh also brought soil from Taj Muhammad’s native village of Kugh Jalandhar in India’s Punjab state. The reunion took place at the Gurdwara Darbar Sahib Kartarpur, Narowal, Pakistan, the final resting place of Sikh faith founder Guru Nanak Dev.

The note attached to the post read, “Love for one's soil is included in the blood of every person and when a person touches this soil after 75 years, the fragrance of its soil is embedded in his soul. Something similar was seen when Taj Muhammad from Okara (Pakistan) met Sardar Manohar Singh who came from his native village of Kugh Jalandhar (India) through the Kartarpur Corridor.”

The two also said that they are happy to see each other after so many years. Taj Muhammad and Manohar Singh added that they are “grateful to the Government of Pakistan and PMU Kartarpur.”
