Listen "Remembering Partition in the Punjab"
Episode Synopsis
The partition of British India is a story of extreme communal violence, mass rape, honor killings, abduction, and forced migration. It is a story where the same individuals, depending on which side of the border they found themselves, could be both victims or perpetrators. Dr. Pippa Virdee, author of From the Ashes of 1947: Reimagining the Punjab, discusses the challenge of memorializing partition on the August 1st episode of Realms of Memory.
