Having settled in Delhi, the families of all four of my grandparents can be traced to a land that now lies across the border. So, in 2013, I began a quest to uncover the everyday items that traveled with refugees in both directions – and the powerful stories behind each one.

In many Indian and Pakistani families like mine, “Partition” has become a word unspoken, shrouded in silence and sheathed with painful memories.īy focusing on the political events leading to the birth of India and Pakistan, the history books often fail to capture the experiences of individual refugees in what is believed to be one of the largest mass migrations in human history. This month marks 70 years since the Partition of India, a momentous event now receding from view.
