This book expands the scope of understanding of the vast, albeit
uneven, experience of the 1947 Partition of India by including
localities and life stories from and beyond the regions of Punjab
and Bengal. Building on existing research on Partition, the
chapters present and analyse the consequences of Partition
displacement and the resilience of communities in different parts
of the nation. Regions discussed include the Chitmahals, Assam,
Tripura, Mizoram, Hyderabad, Andaman Islands, and Jammu and
Kashmir. The contributors show that the heterogeneity of people’s
experiences reside in spaces of the family, home, neighbourhoods,
villages, towns and cities refugee settlements, letters, memoirs,
biographies, films, fiction, oral histories, and testimonies. The
book examines the Partition’s complex effects in regions,
localities and contexts and its material and psychological
ramifications. This book is a unique and comprehensive contribution
in enabling a more complex understanding of how Partition played
out and continues to do so for groups and generations across India.
It will be of interest to a multidisciplinary audience, including
history, literature, comparative literature, colonial and
postcolonial studies, modern Asian studies, studies of South Asia,
and studies of memory and trauma.
