Abstract

As they resist and survive the forced migrations thrust upon them, Lenny, Pooro and Simran reject a twice displacement and continue to exist. Gradually, Pritam shifts to addressing Hamida in her text instead of Pooro, confirming the migration is absolute, and Pooro's exile is made permanent both, geographically and communally on the Pakistani side of Punjab with a Muslim husband and his children. P#46#P The Partition of India in 1947 is a central historical event in the twentieth century that functions as a defining moment which is neither the 'beginning nor end and continues to influence how the peoples and states of postcolonial South Asia envisage their past, present and future'.
