Step into the history of 1947 at Purana Qila, a site that became one of Delhi’s major refugee camps during Partition. This heritage walk explores the human stories behind one of the largest forced migrations in history and examines how Partition transformed Delhi forever.

Understand why Partition happened, the immense human cost of displacement, and the stories of people whose lives were uprooted. Discover how poets, writers and artists turned to memory and storytelling to process the trauma, and why Partition remains an important yet difficult part of Delhi’s collective memory.

The walk also explores how the arrival of refugees reshaped Delhi’s neighbourhoods, language, food and cultural identity, and how memories of Partition continue across generations.

More than a walk through 1947, this is an exploration of how one historical rupture continues to shape the Delhi we know today.
