Aanchal Malhotra
“Partition memory is particularly pliable. Within it, the act of forgetting, either inevitably or purposefully, seems to play as much a part as remembering itself.”
Aanchal Malhotra, Remnants of a Separation: A History of the Partition through Material Memory

Sneha Subramanian Kanta
“1947, a found poem,
full of erasures in history
of India and Pakistan.”
Sneha Subramanian Kanta, Synecdoche
