Book Read Recently


The Other Side of Silence: Voices from the Partition of IndiaThe Other Side of Silence: Voices from the Partition of India by Urvashi Butalia
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A good book, tells about the unheard stories of people who witnessed partition, who were ones partition really partitioned. Shows the human side of partition which was till now shown as just as the political battle and a war between two communities.
It tells the different views of people from different backgrounds, of different age (children, adults) and of different communities which otherwise doesn't figure in the usual history of partition. In all a good read.
