Presencing Partition
A Healing Collective
The partition of the Indian subcontinent in 1947 brought liberation from British Rule, but at a tragic cost. This collective trauma was silenced for decades as millions focused on survival, re-rooting themselves, and re-establishing homes. The pain was buried until the last of the Partition Survivors and their descendants began to understand that this event, eight decades ago, continues to affect them today.
It's time to process Partition and embark on a healing journey. Traumas like Partition don't simply disappear. Their imprints linger through generations until weĀ intergtate them into our being, transforming them into our wisdom.
Collective traumas necessitate collective healing. This space is dedicated to that purpose. It's a place for remembering, witnessing, and integrating the legacy of Partition as a healing movement. A forum for memory keepers to connect, share insights and inspirations.Ā Ā By reflecting on the effects Partition has on us in the present we can lay the foundation for a more unified future.

We will cultivate a deeper understanding of ourselves and each other, moving beyond our protective barriers. In unity, we will share and bear witness to the sufferings and inspirations birthed from our division as we foster a renewed sense of wholeness.
