Jayanti Basu

4.9/5 (14127 ratings)

Description:A psychological study of the Bengal Partition, a traumatic time that continues to resonate. Why has it been so hard for Bengal to recover from this catastrophe, shared with the people of Punjab, who faced much more brutal and horrendous violence over a short period? Was it due to very different historical circumstances? The refugees were targets of ‘soft violence’, an extreme form of mental assault that ‘chilled them with fear’ till they fled. They could not tell ‘whether old friends had become new foes’. Were they imagining this or perhaps it was a true reading of the situation? Departures were spread over many years, preventing a sharper break with the past, prolonging their confusion over identity, the grief of being uprooted, of feeling unwelcome in the truncated state of West Bengal.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
