LOOKING BACK, INFORMING THE FUTURE
The 1947 Partition of British India: Implications of Mass Dislocations Across Geographies
featuring a talk by Dr. Nadhra Khan
Please join the Harvard South Asia Institute for a focus group discussion as we announce the 1947 Partition Stories ‘Looking Back’ project. Our goal is to reflect on how the consequences of Partition have manifested today, and extend these questions into the future. We will be leading a discussion on the consequences and current views of Partition, announce our ongoing efforts, and introduce upcoming events. Dr. Nadhra Khan will give her insight on the history and research surrounding the Partition.
The project is part of an initiative to create an accessible archive to digitize the stories, records, and reflections of the 1947 Partition of British India in crowd proportions. Our goal is to create an online community inviting personal and shared memories of Partition to preserve the realities experienced and enrich the historical knowledge of the event. We aim to use the history shared in this community to tell the true story of the societal effects of the largest migration in history.
