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.

I did not know much about the partition and this book taught me both about the history and the significant events before and after as well as introduced me to the most human aspects of the political and geographic divide.The interviews are stunningly pulled together and Zakaria is incredible humble in her story telling. Definitely recommended reading and I look forward to her next book!

It seems that you are in the moment and cannot but feel the helplessness faced by people on both sides.All in all it is a wonderful attempt to bring the people together and helps us empathize with the people.
