Know about the book -

Narrating South Asian Partition is written by Anindya Raychaudhuri and published by Oxford University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0190249765 (ISBN 10) and 9780190249762 (ISBN 13).

Narrating Partition features in-depth interviews with more than 120 individuals across India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and the United Kingdom, each reflecting on their direct or inherited experience of the 1947 Indian/Pakistani partition. Through the collection of these oral history narratives, Raychaudhuri is able to place them into comparison with the literary, cinematic, and artistic representations of partition, and in doing so, examine the ways in which the events of partition are remembered, re-interpreted, and reconstructed and the themes (home, family, violence, childhood, trains, and rivers) that are recycled in the narration.
