A string of pearls gifted by a maharaja carried from Dalhousie to Lahore reveals the grandeur of a life that once was. A notebook of poems brought from Lahore to Kalyan shows one woman's determination to pursue the written word despite the turmoil around her. A refugee certificate created in Calcutta evokes in a daughter the feelings of displacement her father had experienced upon leaving Mymensingh zila now in Bangladesh.
Written as a crossover between history and anthropology Remnants of a Separation is the product of years of passionate research. It is an alternative history of the Partition - the first and only one told through material memory that makes the event tangible even seven decades later. >Remnants Of A SeparationMalhotra AanchalHarperCollins9789353022952
