Stories at Mandi House Metro Station, Delhi
Exhibit: Art in the Metro (My Heart Belongs in Delhi, Women During Partition)

An ongoing exhibition at the Mandi House Metro Station brings glimpses into Delhi's past through excerpts of oral history. Quotes from those who fled Delhi in 1947 and those who migrated to Delhi in 1947 attempt to capture the impacts of Partition on Delhi in 1947. Also included in the display are images from a captivating 2017 exhibit held by The 1947 Partition Archive at the India Habitat Center, entitled 'Women During Partition.'
