The division of India into two states – India and Pakistan – at Independence in 1947 was an event of global significance that triggered the largest single population displacement of the twentieth century. Seventy-five years later, Partition still matters, as millions of people both across and beyond South Asia, including in the UK, encounter its complex legacies. This lecture accordingly explores the interconnected story of Partition, and why also it is British history.
