What to do and see in Punjab, India: The Best History Museums
The Punjab (/pʌnˈdʒɑːb/ ( listen), /-ˈdʒæb/, /ˈpʌndʒɑːb/, /-dʒæb/), also spelled Panjab (land of "five rivers"; Punjabi: پنجاب (Shahmukhi); ਪੰਜਾਬ (Gurumukhi)), is a geographical and cultural region in the northern part of the Indian subcontinent, comprising areas of eastern Pakistan and northern India. Not being a political unit, the boundaries of the region are ill-defined and focus on historical accounts.

The world's first Partition Museum is now open at the historic Town Hall building in Amritsar. The Partition of India was one of the most defining events in the nation's history. It was perhaps the largest migration in human history, with some 18 million affected. The Museum is part of the newly inaugurated Heritage Street at Amritsar, which starts at the Golden Temple and ends at the Town Hall.

Everyone who is visiting Amritsar, I recommend this place to you. This place gives us insights that are unknown to many minds. When I saw the pictures depicting dead people lying in the streets of Bengal, I couldn't take it. It shows that in the greed of power, sufferers are common people like us. I got to read many Diaries of wartime generals, original archives of pre-independence era and the letters from both sides of India & Pakistan between friends. It could melt any heart, just by reading those letters which were written in the cold lifeless words.

In about an hour or so, you can get a great overview of the history of the Sikhs during the golden period of Maharaja Ranjit Singh ji and the unfortunate decline after his time, leading to the British expanding their rule to Punjab and the North West. Although I had read a little bit about this great king, it was nice to get vignettes and nuggets of information about his being a visionary and a compassionate human being in addition to his legendary valour and strategic/tactical acumen.
