A 75-year-old Indian woman was reunited with her two sons in Pakistan after 52 years. Harbans Kaur from the Indian commercial capital of Mumbai met with her sons Qaramatullah and Kudratullah last week. They were born of her first marriage to a Muslim man before the 1947 Partition India-Pakistan partition. A delighted Harbans Kaur told a newspaper, "I tried my best to find my Muslim husband and my sons, but to no avail. When I returned to Pakistan two years ago as a pilgrim at Punja Sahib, I saw Jasi Singh of Faisalabad who was wearing a locket with Muzffarabad written on it. ""Jasi said he would help me find my sons, and I gave him their photographs. Jasi called me in India one day and said a college professor had recognized the pictures, and had promised to trace my sons," she continued. "With Jasi's help, the professor found her sons in 2005, but we could only talk over the telephone. I met my sons for the first time after almost six decades here at Guru Nanak's birth anniversary", she said.
