Book Description
Product Description
Echoes of the traumatic events surrounding the Partition of India in 1947 can be heard to this day in the daily life of the subcontinent, each time India and Pakistan play a cricket match or when their political leaders speak of "unfinished business." This collection demonstrates how foundational the material and symbolic histories of Partition are to much that has happened in South Asia since 1947, and how those divisions, or notions of those divisions, continue to structure public, institutional, and private lives.
