Gandhi reached the city as Sikhs struggled with the thought of losing Maharaja Ranjit Singh's historic capital, temples were destroyed, Guru Golwalkar planned rescue missions for Hindus & Sikhs trapped in Pakistan, and Dr. B.R. Ambedkar argued that a complete population exchange could have prevented future bloodshed. These were the decisions and moments that shaped the destiny of millions.
