![]() Through interviews conducted over a ten-year period and an examination of diaries, letters, memoirs, and parliamentary documents, Butalia asks how people on the margins of history-children, women, ordinary people, the lower castes, the untouchables-have been affected by this upheaval. In The Other Side of Silence, Urvashi Butalia fills this gap by placing people-their individual experiences, their private pain-at the center of this epochal event. ![]() Yet, more than half a century later, little is known of the human dimensions of this event. Homes, villages, communities, families, and relationships were destroyed. More than seventy-five thousand women were abducted and raped. Within the space of two months in 1947 more than twelve million people were displaced. The partition of India into two countries, India and Pakistan, caused one of the most massive human convulsions in history. ![]() Labor and Working-Class History Association.Association for Middle East Women's Studies.Author Resources from University Presses. ![]() ![]() Permissions Information for Journal Authors.Journals fulfilled by DUP Journal Services. ![]()
