The Partition Museum is organising an evening to pay tribute to the spirit of Partition Survivors at the Multipurpose Hall, IIC, New Delhi on 12 November 2018 at 6 p.m. The evening will include a discussion exploring reconciliation through art and literature that emerged in the aftermath of the Partition, and an exhibition on stories of migration as shared by Partition Survivors and their resilience in rebuilding their lives.
The evening will also see the book launch of “Divided by Partition, United by Resilience: 21 Inspirational Stories from 1947”, by Mallika Ahluwalia, CEO, curator and co-founder of the world’s first Partition Museum. The book captures stories of resilience and sheer grit of people caught in the vortex of Partition violence. It comprises life stories of 21 extraordinary individuals who were deeply affected by the Partition, yet went on to achieve greatness in independent India.
