Synopsis

Echos of the Partition of India still affect life in subcontinent - each time India and Pakistan face each other at cricket, or when their leaders talk of 'unfinished business'. Sikhs who had to live through the pogrom following Mrs Gandhi's assassination recall Partition, as do slum-dwelling Bengalis forcibly repatriated to Bangladesh. The contributors suggest how the tangled skein of Partition might be unravelled, examining the power of national monuments, literary reactions to Partition and the relief and rehabilitation provided to refugees on both side of the border.
