What makes inheriting Partition different from remembering it
When history is passed down in fragments, through family stories, silences, memories of loss and belonging, we do not inherit the whole of the past. We inherit particular versions of it, writes Malini Bhattacharjee in ThePrint.
“To remember Partition meaningfully on Partition Horrors Remembrance Day, then, we must do more than preserve the memories we have inherited. We must also make space for the memories we did not inherit.”
