Hornabrook, Jasmine, Clini, Clelia, Nataraj, Paul and Keightley, Emily (2024) Introduction – Partition and the South Asian diaspora: exploring (inherited) memories and creative practices of remembering. South Asian Diaspora, 16 (2). pp. 157-165. ISSN 1943-8184
This short piece introduces the special issue ‘Partition and the South Asian diaspora: exploring (inherited) memories and creative practices of remembering’. This issue was conceived at the juncture of intersecting commemorations of key historical events – 1947 Partition of British India, 1971 Bangladesh independence and 1972 exodus from Uganda – in South Asia and its diasporas. By bringing together articles focused on practices of commemorating these events, we propose that studying entangled memories of Partition and its associated events in the diaspora provides a distinct perspective, both in terms of creative and cultural practices of remembering and in terms of the construction of diasporic identities and belongings.
