- More about Patriotism, Partition and the Persecuted Social Biography of Victims of Partition
The book explores the theme of continuous persecution of a Hindu family and the efforts of Muslim friends and neighbours to protect them, set against the backdrop of the two nation theory and the partition of India in 1947. It traces the journey of a Hindu family who became 'the other' in their country of birth and faced persecution, leading to some members migrating to India. The 1965 India-Pakistan war further exacerbated their separation and suffering, with one facing helplessness, uncertainty, and poverty in India and the other facing state-sponsored apathy, coercion, arrests, and physical tortures. Despite the violent communal aggression, the Muslim friends continued to protect the Hindu family.

The book delves into the enduring persecution of a Hindu family on one hand and the steadfast efforts of Muslim friends and neighbors to safeguard them on the other. It unfolds against the backdrop of the divisive two nation theory and the subsequent partition of India in 1947. Drawing from the social biography of a Hindu family that remained in East Pakistan, the narrative traces their journey, their transformation into "others" in their homeland, and the persecution they faced. This experience of being labeled as "others" prompted a portion of the family to migrate to India, away from their ancestral roots. The 1965 India-Pakistan war further exacerbated their separation and suffering, as they endured prolonged separation and endured hardships on both sides of the borders. While one half-family faced helplessness, uncertainty, and poverty in India, the other endured state-sponsored apathy, coercion, arrests, and physical torture. Despite the pervasive atmosphere of violent communal aggression, the Muslim friends remained steadfast in their protection of the Hindu family.
