“Memorialization is not a passive practice but an active conversation.”
― Remnants of a Separation: A History of the Partition through Material Memory
― Remnants of a Separation: A History of the Partition through Material Memory
“Partition tore India into three pieces. Disaster struck. There was East Pakistan, there was West Pakistan, and there was the rest of India. Millions of people were uprooted from their houses, tens of thousands massacred on both sides. It was one of the greatest mass migrations and killings in human history. People today do not realize the tremendous trauma of Partition, whose negative vibrations continue to haunt us even today.”
