Book Description:

As an event of shattering consequence, the Partition of India remains significant. While Partition sounds smooth on paper, the reality was horrific. While there are many official accounts of Partition, there are few social histories and no feminist histories. Borders and Boundaries changes that, providing first-hand accounts and memoirs, juxtaposed alongside official government accounts.
