This volume explores the instrumental role played by memory in our daily and collective narratives and the manifold ways in which it can destabilize those prevailing in India. It explores manifestations of memory and postmemory through written narratives, within India’s social, political, and cultural memoryscape. Drawing on archival research, oral history collection, and textual and critical analysis, the book endeavours to reconstruct Indian experiences in all their richness and diversity, while challenging dominant paradigms and expanding the boundaries of collective memory. An important contribution, this book will be of interest to students and scholars of history, memory studies, partition studies, sociology, cultural studies, English literature, decolonization, and South Asian studies.
