Pakistani Refugees In Bikaner Recall Trauma, Pledge Loyalty To India
Pakistani refugees in Rajasthan’s Bikaner recalled horrific religious persecution before fleeing during the 1971 war. Resettled under India’s 1977-78 rehabilitation package, they now express gratitude and support for “Operation Sindoor.” Migrants say India gave them dignity, security, and a sense of belonging—many even vow to defend the nation.
