A. Banerjee.

The Partition of 1947 remains the defining moment of the birth of the nation in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. While academic discourse has only recently begun to tackle the human dimensions of this incredibly traumatic event – with an estimated million dead and twelve million displaced - Partition has been a rich subject for literature and cinema over the last half century. Now more than ever before, it continues to serve as a fulcrum in creating narratives of national, religious, linguistic, and gendered identity. The course surveys fictional and filmic treatments of the Partition from 1947 to 2007.
