Summary: 
"Discovering Partition Literature is one of the most significant events of my life. The idea that simple objects carry great human value as a tangible memory, strikes a chord in me while reading about the largest mass migration to date. It’s intriguing to see that an event that almost shaped nations, carries a story of silence. This article is about the human history of the Partition of India and the phenomenon of forming material memories through Aanchal Malhotra’s “Remnants of a Separation: A History of the Partition through Material Memory”."
