Summary

The book is an anthology of creative and critical responses to partition of India within and across borders. It captures the experience of partition and the history of abject relationship between religious communities since 1947. The book presents a deeper perspective of history by highlighting the dents that partition left on the minds of those who experienced it. Each contributor brings back the memories of partition which severely affects them even today. The concept of 'barbed wire' has been used metaphorically to confront the consequences of partition that still haunt the national, literary, religious and political situation of India. The book is a compilation of short stories, poems, articles, news reports and memoirs. This literary criticism of narratives brings to light the human history of partition, while examining the complexities of a bruised nation at the social, psychological and religious levels of consciousness. The book will appeal to anyone interested in history, comparative literature, Indian sociology and politics.
