Interview with Kavita Puri about her book Partition Voices: Untold British Stories. Excavates often traumatic memories of the mass migration and bloody violence of the partition of India. Explains why the story has been so shrouded in silence – there isn’t a memorial to Partition, anywhere on earth – and yet how it has shaped the UK’s population and politics ever since. Argues that it’s vital that empire and the end-of-empire be taught in every British school.
