HarperCollins Remnants of a Separation: A History of the Partition through Material Memory

Absolutely loved it!The book: good quality, strong binding, clear printing. Arrived dust free, I did sanitize it just for caution.The contents: super well written, endearing and makes you feel like it’s your nani (grandma) who’s telling you a story. Makes you feel like you know the characters, and discussed emotionally difficult topics in a very personal manner.Would recommend to anyone looking to get a different perspective - a real up close view - of what partition meant to the people who were caught in the middle of it.

It uses archaeological technique in an inventive manner to bring out thIt employes archaeological technique in an inventive way to recreate the harrowing events at the time of partition. It is thus aremarkable addition to the lever of oral history of partition .

From the seller "uRead-Store", this is how the book came to me. I wanted a crisp new copy. I want to believe that this was just a packaging blunder, and that this is a new book but it was unfortunate to receive a "new" book in such poor condition!The contents of the book itself: extraordinary! Aanchal Malhotra is a brilliant author and artist. The 5 stars are for her and NOT for the seller!

It's a fantastic book to read.... Aanchal Malhotra has done a great service by writing stories belongs to partition...A book must read for people who are interested to know about partition. Youngster must read...

I think every Indian should read this.But we still haven't learnt, have we?
