- Summary:
- `Since 1947', an oft-encountered phrase in Delhi, has been used in this book for an incursion into the embedded themes of disruption in everyday life: forced migration, and then reparation; rearrangement; and renewed embodiment of the migrant's personal and social bearings. It explores how past is employed to repair ruptures in people's ordinary lives. It specifically delves into the Partition experience used by Punjabi Hindu refugees to evolve coping strategies when forced to leave their homes in 1947, and examines the emerging identification process.
