In 1947, The Greater Punjab of British India was divided into two. West Punjab was given to Pakistan while East Punjab became the part of India. This was not only a division or a partition but a set of the large number of Violent incidents. Millions of Muslims, Sikhs and Hindus were killed, tortured, become missing and raped. In West Punjab (Now Pakistan), the villages in Rawalpindi, Jehlum, Gujranwala, Gujrat, Sialkot, Lyallpur (Faisalabad), Jhang, Lahore, Multan, Mianwali and Chakwal Regions came under attack. Thousands of Hindus and Sikhs were killed or become missing, and the remaining had migrated toward India. Mostly settled in East Punjab, Haryana and Dehli.

A large number of Haveli's (Palace), Gurdwaras and Temples belonging to Sikhs and Hindus could still be found all across West Punjab (Now Pakistan).
We are struggling for the Restoration and the Preservation of all the Gurdwaras and the Temples of Punjab, Pakistan which were left after the 1947 Migration of Hindus and Sikhs.
