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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 436g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150 x 226 x 21 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9789391928780\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Debal K.
