All six of them — Ms. Devi, her husband, her sister, her sister’s husband and their children — lived in a single-room jhuggi. However, not everyone who came into Jawahar Bagh came for this cause. After her marriage Ms. Devi was unable to have a child and began falling ill frequently. “Sankalp hai shaheedo ka, deskbhakto ki manzil laksh, Swadhin Bharat ka jhanda lehrane laga... Jai Hind, Jai Subhash,” Ms. Devi recalls the song. In the melee that followed Ms. Devi lost contact with her husband and her sister.
