In 'Main Vaapas Aaunga', the songs that Partition couldn't silence
Filmmaker Imtiaz Ali's 'Main Vaapas Aaunga' uses Partition's cultural world to explore history. A Punjabi folk song, sung at weddings, shows how music crossed borders. Many singers, including Surinder Kaur and Jagjit Singh, used this tune. The song still lives on both sides, proving Partition couldn't silence shared culture.
