Those who left 74 years ago became obsessed with reunion.
On the 13th of this month, 86-year-old Dafia Bai alias Ayesha, sitting on a bed in Melsi, Punjab Province, Pakistan, put on an earphone with the help of someone and turned her attention to the mobile screen.
Dafia Bai's eyes were already wet with hope, but as soon as she saw her grandson and nephew on the WhatsApp video call, she started kissing the screen with unnatural emotions and a sea of tears was flowing from her eyes.
For Dafia Bai, this was the first time since the partition that she had looked at her missing family members.
Other members of Dafia's family are in Bikaner, India, about 266 km away.
Dafia Bai could not control her emotions when she saw her brother's grandchildren on the mobile screen and said some words to 23-year-old Kalu Ram and 30-year-old Khojo Ram in Marwari which meant that I cried all my life. I have passed
"I have been offering ghee, money and other things to find the missing family members all my life," says Dafia Bai.
"It's a great way for the two families to get together. We've exchanged photos and videos in this regard," said 23-year-old Kalu Ram.
Dafia says that she has found her missing family. Another wish is that the government should issue us a visa so that we can go to India soon and meet the victims.
