The Journey of Partition itself -- after Partition.



The Partition of British India and the subsequent creation of two antagonist countries is a phenomenon that we are still trying to comprehend. Millions displaced thousands slaughtered families divided and redefined as home became alien land and the unknown became home. So much has been said about it but there is still no writer storyteller or poet who has been able to explain the madness of Partition.

Using the oral narratives of four generations of people -- mainly Pakistanis but also some Indians -- Anam Zakaria a Pakistani researcher attempts to understand how the perception of Partition and the 'other' has evolved over the years. Common sense dictates that the bitter memories of Partition would now be forgotten and new relationships would have been forged over the years but that is not always the case. The memories of Partition have been repackaged through state narratives and attitudes have only hardened over the years. Post-Partition events -- wars religious extremism terrorism -- have left new imprints on 1947. This book documents the journey of Partition itself -- after Partition.
