This book is based on fourteen months of ethnographic fieldwork
with Partition survivors from west Punjab and the North-West
Frontier Province, in Delhi and its surroundings between 2017–18.
It locates the global rise of far-right nationalism within
globalisation and memories of victimhood. Focussing on Hindu
nationalism in India, this book is an important and timely
contribution to the literature on South Asian Partition Studies
that shows how tragedy begets tragedy. It tries to answer an
urgent, provocative but nevertheless necessary question: 'What does
it mean to remember the Partition in the time of fascism?' The
author shows what makes up cycles of violence by connecting the
reinscription of trauma in Partition memories to the self-serving
justifications of the contemporary violence of Hindu nationalism.
It analyses how the hegemony of Hindu nationalism has structured
the narratives of Hindu Partition survivors and recruited them in
service of a putative Hindu nation.
