Large-scale migration had taken place between the borders of Pakistan and India with the announcement of independence and transfer of power from the British colonial masters to two independent states in August 1947. This paper deals with the issues including what kind of problems were faced by Muslim women in the whole process of migration? What help and support had been extended to them by the women on Pakistani side to settle down in the new country?

Comments: I wish the author also had written about the plight of the Hindu and Sikh women in West Punjab and made it more of a holistic case study on the plight of the Punjabi Women in 1947.
