The chapters in this volume analyse how language, cinema, and textbooks contributed to the divide instead of bridging gaps, and why unresolved questions from the Partition continue to affect the region. The chapters cover the communalization of Hindi and Urdu, how textbooks in India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan narrate Partition, the role of mass media in India and Pakistan in presenting Partition, and the portrayal of Partition in films across India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan. This book is aimed at students, researchers and scholars interested in postcolonial studies, South Asian history, cultural studies, and media analysis.
The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of India Review.
Reviews / Votes
The edited volume provides a valuable guide for understanding how narratives and representations of the division of British India have contributed to majoritarian nationalism in South Asia. As such it is a timely contribution to the field of study on the 1947 Partition and is deserving of a wide readership.Ian Talbot, Emeritus Professor of Modern South Asian History,
