Remnants of a Separation: A History of the Partition through Material Memory by Aanchal Malhotra

5.0

Partition was not as simple as it was made out to be. Every person involved in the Partition has a story to tell- stories of why they were forced to migrate or how they chose to stay back. I loved how Aanchal Malhotra brought these many stories alive by capturing the memories of people and anchoring them to a real keepsake they had with them. The keepsakes ranged from jewellery gifted by royalty to kitchen utensils, but no matter what the material value, they have sentimental value to the players and to us as repositories of the stories
