This work examines how memories of the 1947 Partition continue to shape the identities and lives of later generations across India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and their diasporas. Drawing on hundreds of oral-history interviews, Malhotra explores the transmission of trauma, belonging, loss, migration, and cultural memory within families and communities. Rather than treating Partition as a completed historical event, the book demonstrates its continuing presence in contemporary South Asian life.
