Partition Legacy: Aitchison and YPS Celebrate Separately

A long time ago, there was a famous school in Lahore called Aitchison College.

When India and Pakistan were divided in 1947, many students had to move to India.

A new school, Yadavindra Public School (YPS), was started in Patiala, India, to help these students continue their studies.

Both schools have a special connection because of this history.

Now, they are celebrating their birthdays separately because India and Pakistan are not getting along well.

YPS will honor some special alumni who studied at both schools.

There are also efforts to reconnect families who were friends before the division.

A special prayer service will also be held at Aitchison College for the first time in many years.
