After the great holocaust when people had washed the blood from their bodies they turned their attention to those whose hearts had been torn by the partition.
In every street and by-lane they set up a rehabilitating committee. In the beginning people worked with great enthusiasm to rehabilitate refugees in work camps, on the land and in homes. But there still remained the task of rehabilitating abducted women, those that were recovered and brought back home: and over this they ran into difficulties. The slogan of the supporters was "rehabilitate them in your hearts." It was strongly opposed by people living in the vicinity of the temple of Narain Bawa.
