At Lahore’s ‘Eton’, Pakistani alum pays tribute to Indian dost

A classroom at Lahore’s Aitchison College, once attended by leaders from undivided Punjab, now bridges India and Pakistan. A tribute to former Punjab CM Harcharan Singh Brar, funded by his 100-year-old schoolmate Syed Babar Ali, highlights enduring friendships forged before Partition. This initiative is part of a larger effort to remember the institution’s pre-1947 past, honouring students and teachers scattered by history.
