Shimla, September 27: Sixty-two years after they left a prestigious school here following the Partition, a group of Pakistanis will walk the corridors of their alma mater and relive the memories.
A Pakistani delegation of over 12 people will participate in the 150th foundation day celebration of Bishop Cotton School (BCS) Shimla during the first week of October, school officials say.
On October 22, 1947, 42 Muslim boys left BCS Shimla for the newly-created Pakistan. That was the last time central doors of the historic Irwin hall of the school were opened for the boys, who walked out never to return amid painful silence.
The students were given a warm send off by their schoolmates at that time.
