The family in Punjab found out about their sister in Pakistan two years ago and finally met her last month.
A Pakistani woman separated from her family during the 1947 Partition met her Indian brothers for the first time last month after 75 years.
"When he came to know about his wife's death, he assumed his daughter was also murdered, following which he married his sister-in-law ," said Baldev Singh, the younger of the two brothers."About two years ago, our sons found out about our half-sister with the help of social media," Baldev Singh said.
"Could she be someone else? But we gradually connected the dots, got proof and it was established that she is very much our sister," he said. "Our happiness knew no bounds.""After that, we just wanted to meet her at any cost. But there were visa issues," Baldev Singh said. Tens of thousands of people have travelled through the Kartarpur corridor since it was inaugurated by India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi in November 2019, allowing Indian pilgrims rare visa-free access.But pilgrimage to Kartarpur was suspended in March 2020 due to the Covid pandemic. It finally reopened last November.
"We promised each other that we will try to get visas as soon as possible. She has filed her papers and we expect that she will visit us soon." "It's true that we have slightly different styles of living," he said. "They [in Pakistan] eat more meat while we eat less of it. But as Guru Nanak said 'manas ki jaat sabhe ek pehchan bo' ."Till they get their visas, the siblings are making do with video calls to each other.at the Kartarpur Sahib Gurdwara.
