Other punjabis rather that gujratis or bangalis even if the 2 were from enemy countries.

Punjab was probably the biggest tragedy of partition other than bengal. I hope one day I would be able to see the whole of punjab as one.
Similar reunion in Jan 2022
Earlier in Jan 2022, a video of the tearful reunion, showing the elderly brothers, one from India and another from Pakistan, hugging each other at the visa-free Kartarpur Corridor, went viral.
Punjabi Lehr, the Pakistan-based YouTube channel that brought together two brothers separated by Partition after 74 years and got many a little teary-eyed, has reunited over 200 friends and families across the border.
Emotions run high and tears wouldn't stop from the eyes of septuagenarian brothers who were divided during Indo Pak partition but reunited at Kartarpur Sahib after 74 years.
