10,000 Memories: A Lived History of Partition is the fruition of the largest pan-South Asian oral history survey ever conducted. Through individual experiences, it documents stories of Partition, World War II, and Independence in the mid-20th century Indian subcontinent. The narratives from Bombay include stories of soldiers involved in the Navy Mutiny, the settlement of Sindhis post-partition, and numerous Muslim families who chose to stay in Bombay and continued to call it their home among others.
On August 26, the editors and the creators of the book, Guneeta Singh Bhalla and Professor Erin Riggs will be talking about this book and its significance. The talk will be followed by a QnA session along with a panel who will be sharing their experiences during the partition.
