Book Excerpts

Read an Excerpt from ‘In the Language of Remembering’

As the subcontinent marks the seventy-fifth anniversary of Partition, In the Language of Remembering will most importantly serve as a reminder of the price this land once paid for not guarding against communal strife – and what could happen once again should we ever choose division over inclusion.

  • Reading about partition always takes me into deep thinking; Trying to observe and feel the day that had been announced partition. How psychologically have people been impacted? This brings shivering chills to my bones. Why don't academics conclude such a significant part that people before n after the partition lived and were thrown away and this excerpt is lit giving a lantern to my thoughts wander in the "Remnant of a separation", which is to be read? Oh boy! I'm gonna weep a lot; I hope my heart bears it. Thank you @harpercollins for allowing me to read excerpt.
