The Partition of India in 1947 resulted in the largest mass-migration of people in the world till date. In recent years, testimonies of these migrations from those who witnessed the event have begun to emerge, resulting in a better understand of the Partition. Among these, the narratives of women- young and old- are imperative as they alert us on the impact the Partition had on familial life, on homes and ways of living.
Women during Partition explores first-hand accounts with women who witnessed the Partition. Those who refused to leave until months after the Partition, and those who had to leave at just a moment’s notice. Through their stories, through the very nature of archival image, we learn about the circumstances of their migrations. We learn of family, education, the plight of refugees, and the most importantly, the notion of hope.

August 13, 2019 | The formation of Indian identity (Delhi)
Location: India Habitat Center - Gulmohar Auditorium, Delhi, India
August 2019 marks 72 years since India gained independence from British rule. An unusual and intriguing set of events in 1947 came to define modern India and it's neighbors, Pakistan and (since 1971) Bangladesh. Numerous kingdoms merged with the erstwhile British territories in the region known collectively as 'British India.' Today's 'India' retained its British name and the 'Indian' identity has since been widely adopted. We explore this transformation of our identity from 1947 through today via live storytelling by those who witnessed pre-Partition and pre-Independence times, and also a panel of experts who will discuss what we have come to learn from oral history, from feminist writings and from the the evolution of the business world in India, 1947 through now. A Q&A session will follow the discussion.
Experts Panel:
Dr. Urvashi Butalia - Author and Publisher, founder of Zubaan
Dr. Guneeta Singh Bhalla - Oral Historian and Physicist, founder of The 1947 Partition Archive
Dr. Anurag Batra - Chairman and Editor-in-Chief, BW Businessworld, and founder exchange4media
Partition Witness Panel:
Tulsi Das Chugh was 16 years old in 1947
Indra Trehon was 14 years old in 1947
Mahesh Chandra was 20 years old in 1947

Exhibit: Unheard Stories
CSVMT and The 1947 Partition Archive bring 'Remembering Partition: Memory Through the Ages,' an exhibition. Seven decades have passed since the partition of 1947 and still, despite its defining influence on our lives today, the public memories and histories linger only latently. 'Remembering Partition: Memory Through the Ages' is an exhibition curated by the 1947 Partition Archive debuting excerpts from its collection of witness oral histories recalling life before, after and during Partition. This multimedia exhibit highlights the social and cultural effects of the Partition by chronologically referring to various age groups.
Each and every panel of this exhibit presents a unique first hand experience and displays how the pivotal event that determined the subcontinent's contemporary history continues to influence society till today. These narratives are from around the globe, with a special focus on showcasing diversity of experiences across class, caste, gender, as well as geographical location.
It is an exhibit that marries the notions of history, memoir, longing, belonging and inter-generational storytelling. CSVMT in collaboration with 1947 Partition Archive invite you to attend the exhibition..
August 28- September 8, 2017 | Exhibition: Untold Stories (Delhi, India)
Location: Art gallery, India International Center
Exhibit: Untold Stories
Exhibit: Untold Stories
Seven decades have passed since the Partition of 1947 and still remnants of it continue to linger only latently in public memories and histories. The forthcoming exhibition by The 1947 Partition Archive will unravel the memories of people who witnessed the days of the Divide. This multimedia exhibit will highlight the socio-cultural ethnography and memory of the Partition by bringing forth those voices that have otherwise been unheard: the story of a woman still living in a refugee camp, separated from her daughter due to the man-made border, how a city-wide BA exam was put on hold due to a referendum in Sylhet, how two brothers converted to Islam to remain on their land while their sister made her way across to India, and how two brothers travelled from Travancore State to the North-West Frontier Province in search of work and were stranded there due to the Divide.
Each and every panel of this exhibit presents a unique first-hand experience and displays how the pivotal event that determined the subcontinent’s contemporary history continues influences society till today. These narratives are from all around the globe, with a special focus on subversive narratives through the lens of class, caste, and gender. The choice of regional locations is diverse and also brings to light narratives of Partition that are often never considered as part of popular imaginary.
Untold Stories invites, for the very first time, public audiences to engage with exemplary oral histories collected by The 1947 Partition Archive over the last 8 years. It is an exhibition that marries the notions of history, memoir, longing and belonging.
