A Discovery of Loss is a study on the partition on the Indian subcontinent that took place in 1947. It is an attempt to understand the personal narratives of partition that have been tucked deep within memory of all those who experienced it. In this study, I look for habits and hobbies that people carried along in memory and through practice from the homes that they left behind. Through conversations with partition survivors I aim to understand partition and what it means to them. Among other things, this study is an exploration of memory, home, belonging, landscape and language. In case you know someone who migrated in 1947 and would like to share their story, please reach out to me through DM or email me at [email protected]

Most of the people will read history, but only few people will make history. Pakistan got separated from India and on June 2nd 1947 all the nation leaders gathered at British Viceroy 's House in Delhi, discussing the future of the countries. . Sardar Vallabhai Patel (with an angry and coarse voice): We have lost 2 million lives during the partition. This would not have happened if we had listened to Tapasvi ji. Nehru (sobbing and with a calm voice): Many houses were burnt, money was looted, men were killed and women, raped. Had we followed Tapasvi ji's orders, we would have gotten Independence much earlier. Lord Mountbatten: Mr. Tapasvi! we cannot undo the past. We will do what you say. Throw us some light on the future. Tapasvi (Composed, confident and with a firm tone): Be it in India, Pakistan or British, deep down we are human beings. We have some fundamental needs and desires. We all crave for extraordinary life. If you truly love yourself and enjoy being happy. You never let some other get away from them. Don't look outside, get inside. Feel the human in you. Embrace it. Future will be great. Sardar Baldev Singh: So, Tapasvi ji who is going to rule? Tapasvi: Nehru, you need to be the Prime Minister of India. Jinnah will take care of Pakistan. Now, go and make arrangements for Independence Day. Ali Jinnah: Maashallah! (Tapasvi gets his palms together, give a namaskar to everyone and starts walking away) Nehru: This world needs a hero. This partition made people lose hope Sardar Vallabhai Patel (pointing his finger at Tapasvi): No, they won't. Not until Tapasvi ji is with us. He is not the hero we deserved but the hero we needed. Nehru: Patel saab, Tapasvi ji is not just a hero. He is the torch bearer, a silent guardian , a watchful protector and a true king. And then history has to be rewritten. #partitionmuseum #amritsar #amritsardiaries #partition #india #indiahistory #history #pakistan #nehru #sardarvallabhbhaipatel #punjabtourism #travelling #traveler #travelblogger #travel #photooftheday #incredibleindia #india_gram #indiapictures #punjab #tapasviclicks #tapasvinallapati @history @history_art_philosophy @livehistoryindia @indian_history_photos (at The Partition Museum, Town Hall, Amritsar) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtoZufgn8Ia/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=925rhk0qedac

Yet another short trip on a long weekend to Amritsar. The majestic Golden Temple, the disastrous Jallianwala Bagh and the heartbreaking Partition Museum all was worth visiting. The last one takes you on a ghastly trip of the past. I have heard stories of partition from various sources and always wondered what a time it must have been for those who witnessed it. A must visit when at Amritsar. One of the audio that was being played at the museum was: Dhyan se suniye, Gujranwala (now in Pakistan) se humare yahan Gurmeet Kaur aur unki behen Jaswinder Kaur soochna kaksh mein intezaar kar rahi hai, agar aap mein se koi inherit pehchanta hai foran aake miliye. Translation: listen carefully, Gurmeet Kaur and Jaswinder Kaur from Guranwala are waiting at the information centre, if any of you know them please come and meet them. #goosebumps #amritsar #goldentemple #partitionmuseum #jallianwalabagh #1947 #britishraj #punjab #travel #fernweh #partition #sindh #bengal #britishrule #fightforfreedom #longweekendshorttrip #sidthewanderer (at Amritsar, Punjab) https://www.instagram.com/p/BhEgI2qAjBJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=141a4txyorf0p
