As hundreds of thousands of Hindu and Sikh refugees poured into Delhi in August and September of 1947, their plight and horrific tales resulted in an orgy of revenge killings of Muslims in places like Karol Bagh, Paharganj, Sadar Bazaar, Sabzi Mandi, Lodi Gardens. Some 20,000 Muslims were killed and those who escaped from the violence went through the ordeal of forcibly being evicted from their homes to provide housing for the newly arrived refugees.

An interestig book "The Long Partition and the Making of Modern South Asia" by Vazira Fazila-Yacoobali Zamindar describes the plight of the Muslims in Delhi and of the Hindus in Karachi.
