We would like to speak to people in Britain, India, Pakistan and Bangladesh who experienced partition or whose family may have been based in India before or during that time
As the 75th anniversary of partition approaches, we would like to speak to individuals in Britain, India, Pakistan and Bangladesh who experienced partition or whose family may have been based in India before or during that time, and about how the events of partition impacted their lives.
In August 1947 after three hundred years in India, the British left. What remained was a subcontinent partitioned into two independent nation states: a Hindu-majority India, and Muslim-majority Pakistan.
