Torn from the Roots: A Partition Memoir
|
New Delhi, India (Hindu): The Partition of 1947 confounded free India and Pakistan's destinies even as these new nations were being born. It left thousands homeless and created a permanent rift in the hearts of people borne of a similar culture. The work under review, Kamla Patel's memoir, Torn from the Roots, explores the double-sided power of destiny on the fate of women.
By Kamla Patel, translated by Uma Randeria
