Summary: The dark legacies of partition have cast a long shadow on the lives of people of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. The borders that were drawn in 1947 and redrawn in 1971, divided not only nations and histories but also families and friends. The essays in this volume explore new ground in Partition research, looking into areas such as art, literature, migration and notions of 'foreignness' and 'belonging'. It brings focus to hitherto unaddressed areas of partition such as the northeast and Ladakh.
