Wagah — the line itself
17 Aug 1947 — The Radcliffe award is published two days after freedom: here, between Lahore and Amritsar, the new border crosses the Grand Trunk Road. A customs post grows where a five-week pencil line met a thousand-year-old highway.
This is one scene of Chapter 11 — Freedom at Midnight in Indian Independence & Partition, 1905–1948.
