Event Description : BOOK DISCUSSION "The Psychological Impact of the Partition of India"

A discussion on the book edited by Dr. Alok Sarin and Dr. Sanjeev Jain

Urvashi Butalia, feminist and publisher, will be in discussion with the editors and some of the authors 

The Partition of India was a partitioning of minds as much as it was a geographical division. But there has been little discussion in mental health discourse on the psychological scars it caused. This book examines the partitioning of human experience and its impact on social life and psychological health. The breakdown of civic life and society during the cataclysmic event, the collapse of medical services, the violence against citizens and the reflection of these events in writings of that era.
