Partition : The Long Shadow

Partition: The Long Shadow examines the lasting impact of the Partition of India and Pakistan and the ways its legacy continues to shape memory, politics, society and relationships. The book looks beyond the immediate events of 1947 to consider how displacement, violence, borders and inherited memories affected generations. By bringing historical events into conversation with their long-term consequences, it encourages readers to understand Partition as an experience whose effects extend far beyond the creation of new national boundaries. It is a useful work for readers interested in South Asian history and modern India.
