This collection of writings from Indian, Bangladeshi and Pakistani writers, looks at the Partition of the subcontinent in 1947 and explores the still largely unaddressed aspects of the human histories of this time. Combining fiction and non-fiction writings, the volume offers perspectives, first person accounts, and interviews, with the generation of women who lived through Partition. It looks at the impact of Partition on minorities and marginalized women, examines how Partition histories were—and continue to be—received and lived by a generation of younger women for whom its meanings are very different from what they were for their grandmothers. Taking a broad sweep, the writings here not only span three countries, thereby providing a unique and comparative perspective, but also cover a range of subject areas, from oral history to more ‘traditional’ history, from visual history to sports. Also included is a selection of documents, which provide valuable archival material on the Partition. ISBN 818901336
