75 years of India's Independence many would question the relevance of remembering as well as revisiting the horrors of Partition of India on the auspicious occasion. This question came to my mind until I happened to hear and read embodied experiences of survivors' of the mindless and horrific tragedy of Partition of India. To begin with, I must appreciate the painstaking efforts of the contributors to this book. When India is celebrating the Independence from the Britain it is equally important to remember that more than a million people underwent unimaginable agony and suffering just because they stood on the wrong side of a boundary line drawn on map by the British who un-thoughtfully but cunningly decided to divide the country out of frustration. The Partition of India had devastated millions of lives across the Indian sub- continent. There were riots, unrests, violence, animosity, rapes, massacres, looting, starvation and one of the largest forced mass migrations in human history that the world has ever witnessed. Millions of people suffered immense loss and endured horrific days. Perhaps in the recent history of humanity, there are no parallel to the horrors committed by fellow humans on their very neighbours. The provinces of Punjab and Bengal faced the consequences of catastrophic riots that claimed thousands of lives and left an indelible mark in the psyche of millions of people. The repercussions and traumas of the partition haunt the memories of the Nation and its people till date.
