The other Side of Silence: Voices From The Partition of India

---

The Other Side of Silence: Voices from the Partition of India by Urvashi Butalia is a powerful exploration of the human experiences behind the 1947 Partition of India, one of the most traumatic events in South Asian history. Through oral histories, personal testimonies, and archival research, the book amplifies the often-silenced voices of women, children, and marginalized communities who endured violence, displacement, and loss during the division of India and Pakistan. Butalia challenges dominant nationalist narratives by foregrounding individual stories of survival, memory, and reconciliation. Combining historical rigor with deep empathy, this work redefines how Partition is remembered—transforming it from a political event into a profoundly human tragedy that continues to shape identities and relationships across generations.
