Generations before my grand father were zamindaars at Rasul Mandi in Pakistan,around where #KingPourva fought Alexander
2 of my uncles,older than my dad,were settled in Delhi around 1940
My 4yr old dad was sent to elder brothers for safety during 1946-47

A muslim servant accompanied him on his journey to The Indian side with his son,wife,brothers,children,a total 27 members,till a certain spot from where they had to make it alone..
..only to face the same servant with a mob of muslims,right around the border!!
4
Left with no choice to either die at their hands/convert,have their women suffer muslim atrocities,my grandfather kept firing at them,instructing his son to kill the entire family specially the women😢
5
Just 20yr old,my uncle shot & slit throats of members 26 members of his family including his mother😢and jumped in jhelum pretending dead..swam for -13 days to shore of jhelum in Indian Kashmir to meet whatever was left of the family,his younger brothers

My paternal family are the descended of 12th century Hindu ruler of Lahore,Khokhar Anand,(some embraced Sikhism later)
The Khukhrain,clan composed of 8septs of Khatri caste,originally hailed from the Salt Range ares,particularly town of Bhera in Punjab.
8
Known for assassinating Mohammad Ghauri,
a powerful tribe that resisted Mahmud of Ghazni during his 3rd invasion after defeat of Jayapal at the Battle of Bhera in 1004-5 which was the Khukhrain capital.
9
Jaipal's son,Anandapal received Khukhrain's support against Ghazni in 1008-9 at Wahind.

When #MahmudGazni sacked Bhera,the Khukhrain king,Biji Rai stabbed himself with his dagger rather than submit to Ghazni.

'Know where the courage to kill own family's coming from'!! 🙏🏻
I urge all to share 1947 accounts to help current generation feel the pain millions went through for their present🙏🏻 #ReviveIndianPride #RectifyHistory
