Volume 1:
The Partition of India cast its lengthy shadows on two generations of the subcontinent. Ordinary people across borders were sucked into its vortex as unconscious and innocent actors, as meddened mobs. The first of two volumes, draws upon short stories, poems, and satirical pieces, to represent the voices of anguish and the sense of betrayal at freedom gained.
Volume II :
This volume continues the narrative about the Partition and the human tragedy that market the political division on 15th August 1947. The anguish, pain and failed hopes of those who bore its brunt across borders is captured in diaries, memoirs, eye-witness accounts and interviews. Here people speak in their won voices, raw, compelling and despairing. Some of them strike an ominously contemporary note.
