This book expands the scope of understanding of the vast, albeit uneven, experience of the 1947 Partition of India by including localities and life stories from and beyond the regions of Punjab and Bengal. Building on existing research on Partition, the chapters present and analyse the consequences of Partition displacement and the resilience of communities in different parts of the nation. Regions discussed include the Chitmahals, Assam, Tripura, Mizoram, Hyderabad, Andaman Islands, and Jammu and Kashmir. The contributors show that the heterogeneity of people’s experiences reside in spaces of the family, home, neighbourhoods, villages, towns and cities refugee settlements, letters, memoirs, biographies, films, fiction, oral histories, and testimonies. The book examines the Partition’s complex effects in regions, localities and contexts and its material and psychological ramifications. This book is a unique and comprehensive contribution in enabling a more complex understanding of how Partition played out and continues to do so for groups and generations across India. It will be of interest to a multidisciplinary audience, including history, literature, comparative literature, colonial and postcolonial studies, modern Asian studies, studies of South Asia, and studies of memory and trauma.

The setting for this fictional story is the civil war. It was by far a time of trial, pain and suffering; a time that America has still not healed from. But, it is not a story about heros and such; many books have been written about those famous characters by learned men. I am not one of those; I simply tell a story. I wanted to point out that I believe that the passions and emotions of turbulent periods transcend the boundaries of time. The emotions associated with warfare impact the people who fought and those that did not. I may be wrong in my conviction, but I dont think so. Its just a story.
