This book revisits the partition of the British Indian province of
Punjab, its attendant violence and, as a consequence, the divided
and dislocated Punjabi lives. Navigating nostalgia and trauma,
dreams and laments, identity(s) and homeland(s), it explores the
partition of the very idea of Punjabiyat. It was Punjab (along with
Bengal) that was divided to create the new nations of India and
Pakistan. In subsequent years, religious and linguistic
sub-divisions followed - arguably, no other region of the
sub-continent has had its linguistic and ethnic history submerged
within respective national and religious identity(s). None paid the
price of partition like the pluralistic, pre-partition Punjab. This
work analyses the dissonance, distortion and dilution witnessed by
Punjab and presents a detailed narrative of its past.
