The Nile on eBay   FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE   Bearing Witness by Sukeshi Kamra Presents a fresh perspective on Partition - the birth of two nation states - India and Pakistan, and the end of the colonial period in India. This title studies the trauma experienced by survivors of Partition - the British who were forced to leave India, and the educated Indians, for whom this moment marked a rite of passage. FORMATHardcover LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description August 14/15, 1947, reverberates with meaning for Indian and Pakistani people. The date does more than mark the "independence" of India. This momentous time marks the birth of two nation states, India and Pakistan, and is fixed in the memory of many as Partition and end of the Raj. Bearing Witness Partition, Independence, End of the Raj attempts to nuance this historical moment by considering contemporary and post-event responses to Partition, which Indians and Pakistanis have inherited as one of uncontested significance. From testimonials and speeches by Jinnah and Nehru to fictional and non-fictional accounts by Indians and the British, and political cartoons that appeared in English newspapers at the time, Kamra offers an inductive study of primary texts that have been ignored until now. The book studies the three groups most affected by the events of 1947: the British, for whom this was the beginning of exile; the Indian elite, for whom the moment was a rite of passage; and the survivors of Partition, for whom the event is inextricably linked with trauma and loss of home, family, and community.Author Sukeshi Kamra asks, "Why do we not consider these valid and contesting readings in the teaching and learning of our history? Not doing so means that testimonials to Partition, such as narratives of trauma, autobiographies as 'personal' statements on a 'public' moment, and political cartoons as a minute-by-minute construction of history have yet to be considered." Author Biography Sukeshi Kamra is associate professor in the department of English at Carleton University.She has also published articles on Salman Rushdie and Rohinton Mistry.

Provides a new perspective on Partition: the birth of two nation states: India and Pakistan and the end of the colonial period in India; partition marks one of the largest human migrations in history; a compelling and unorthodox study of contemporary and post-event responses to Partition; an interdisciplinary study of the trauma experienced by survivors of Partition: the British who were forced to leave India, and the educated Indians, for whom this moment marked a rite of passage; Kamra uses primary sources for her research including fiction and non-fiction accounts written by survivors of Partition, speeches by Jinnah and Nehru (Prime Ministers of Pakistan and India during Partition, respectively), and political cartoons printed in English newspapers at the time; presents a more popular approach to the experience of Partition, as most of the writing on this subject has been written by Indians and British colonials who were educated in western systems; provides a unique take on an important event in world history by considering new writings and ideas on the subject that have never before been considered 'valid'; an important contribution to Post-colonial studies.
