Since 1947 : Partition Narratives among Punjabi Migrants of Delhi (OIP)
Bok av Ravinder Kaur
This book summarizes the nearly six decade-long efforts at restoring the loss of homes, livelihoods, and national territory in 1947. This study tells the story of Hindus and Sikhs from the North West Frontier Province and West Punjab who made India's capital their new home. Based on the everyday life of the migrants in three resettlement colonies, the book focuses on the period between 1947 and 1965-from the time of Partition till the official closure of resettlement
work. It shows how Partition stands as a living theme, a point of reference for the Delhi Punjabis. The author revisits this book with a new introduction in the paperback edition.
