Refugees in their own country

75 verses on the 75th anniversary of Partition provides a chariot for anyone across generations who wishes to step into Sunayna Pal’s time machine and experience those lost moments painful moments moments of truth which she has magically recreated.This is an evocative and energetic collection of poems. It takes the reader through a trajectory of Partition events and experiences. If one wants many of the poems can be linked to the events of Partition but they also carry the emotional weight and understanding of what Partition would mean to all of us from South Asia.Dr Amrita Shodhan faculty Partition studies at School of Oriental and African Studies University of London
