Dhana Singh, the son of Majeed Teja’s childhood chum Sadhu Singh, started his journey from Bhaini Mehraj in Sangrur (a district of Indian Punjab, 200 kilometers east of Lahore) to Darogawala in Jhang (a district 200 km west of Lahore, Pakistani Punjab) to meet his father’s friend 72 years after the Indo-Pak partition.

Majeed’s clan lived in Badbar, some 3 km away from Bhaini, and enjoyed family relations with Sikhs of that area. Both villages were in the same state, Nabha, before 1947. During the partition, when Sikhs and Muslims from both sides of Punjab started killing each other, Majeed’s family took shelter under Sadhu’s father Bachitar Singh, then a Numberdar (sarpanch/villager elder) of Bhaini.

After few days, Majeed’s family was told that they could not live in Badbar; they had to move to a new country, Pakistan. But even as his family decided to depart from their ancestral village, Majeed did not have the courage to leave his pal Sadhu. He stayed.

“We were [absolutely] sure then that we will soon return to our village,” says Majeed.

It took the family’s elders five years to finally realize that Punjab was now irrevocably divided between Pakistan and India. Majeed’s uncle went back to Bhaini to bring him to their new home in Darogawala, Jhang (real name of the village in revenue records is Ram Krishan).

“I can never forget how my uncle was weeping when he saw their abandoned field and houses in Badbar,” Majeed recalls. “I also remember how my second father [Bachitar Singh] was crying like a kid when I left him.”

Bachitar died only a few years after the partition, but Sadhu still lives and has great knowledge about the Teja and Dhaliwal (sub castes of the Jat ethnic group) families settled in Badbar.
Now Sadhu has sent his son Dhana to Pakistan to bring Majeed back to India after 72 years. He fears he may not live longer and wishes to hug and talk to his childhood friend before dying – a feeling equally shared by Majeed.
The Teja brothers, who settled in Darogawala after the partition, are the only survivors left to share the stories of migration with younger generations.
Majeed’s elder brother Siddique was an intelligent student at Badbar Primary School. He was in seventh grade at a high school of Longowal, a town near Badbar, when he had to leave his mates behind. He still remembers his teachers and friends calling him “Ram Pyari” with love.

The Tejas, along with other people of their clan, suffered the distress and witnessed the horrors of partition during their painful journey from Nabha to Lahore.

After spending months in different refugee camps, the entire clan decided to live in Jhang, referenced in the famous romance Heer Ranjha, as they used to listen to and sing the folk tale during their stay in Badbar.

Another reason for choosing Darogawala was that it had a striking resemblance to their native village.

After settling in their new home, Siddique and Majeed, along others now passed, would sit together and share memories of their previous homeland.

The jalibee, halwa, and shakarpara (all sweets) of Badbar, still haunt them. They would recollect their visits to other areas where their relatives were settled and remember animal trading with the Sikhs of Longowal and Kanjhla. Back then, they would play Kabbadi and wrestle with their Sikh friends and celebrate Lohri, Besakhi, and Eid together without any discrimination.

Like his brother, Siddique remembers how, even two decades after their migration, they believed that one day they would return to East Punjab. However, the 1965 war between Pakistan and India killed their hope forever.

All the other elders in Darogawala are dead, taking to their graves the memories of their ancestral village and the dream to visit their native land again. But thanks to social media, Siddique and Majeed are fortunate enough to meet someone from their ancestral village who could equally share the pains of partition and find solace in this rare reunion.
“Parvez searched ‘Badbar’ of East Punjab on Facebook, YouTube, Google and other social networking sites, where he found a few old and young people of the area. And with their help, he made this magic happen in the lives of both of the old Tejas,” says Zahid Dhaliwal, another young man from Darogawala.

Majeed and Siddique cried like children while watching videos of the streets where they were born and grew up together before being separated from their home by the border, Dhaliwal adds
