Considering that you have been a freedom fighter, Mam' the world has changed, even when I remember how it was in my childhood it pains comparing that to how the world is today, but it is what it is, and we have to deal with it case by case. And if people from your past were alive they'd have been really sad how your generation failed on partition.
fyi, I'm a great grandson of a freedom fighter from goa, under portuguese... well doesn't make much difference.
