Sandip Kaur’s Bikhra Painda: A militant woman’s story from Punjab
Making feminist sense in the global south: A conversation with Urvashi Butalia
Looking back on Partition
Seventy years after the partitioning of India into two countries, India and Pakistan, the bitter legacies of that violent founding moment have not gone away.

I accompanied him on this visit. In this article, I tell the story of Bir Bahadur's journey home, and what it meant to him. I believe that this journey--and other such journeys--allow us a way of looking at the experience of Partition, a…
