                <media:description>This photo taken in August 1947 shows Indian soldiers walking through the debris of a building in the Chowk Bijli Wala area of Amristar during unrest following the Partition of India and Pakistan.In August 1947 the British Raj was dismantled, creating a newly independent India, with chunks of its western and eastern regions hurriedly amputated to create Pakistan. Partition etched a deep fissure in the region and threw millions of Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs on the road to their new homeland. Six thousand kilometres of new borders were drawn in just five weeks, fifteen million people were uprooted -- and possibly as many as two million lives were lost in the chaos and ensuing violence. / AFP PHOTO / STRINGER        (Photo credit should read STRINGER/AFP/Getty Images)</media:description>
