Partition and independence in Delhi: 1947-48

This is a Partition-Independence that we have not always fated up to in our history-writing and our public presentations of that moment of 'liberation'. A focus on the Muslims of a disturbed and high-profile place such as Delhi Fn 1947-48 allows us to recover something of the suppressed memories of Partition and Independence, at the same time as we ask something about the way in which the history of these elements has been written up.
