About this listen

Broadcaster Anita Rani's story is of a long-hidden family secret, one rooted in India’s Partition in 1947. A secret that changed not just everything Anita thought she knew about Britain’s legacy in India... but rocked her own sense of identity.

Thank you for sharing your illuminating personal and family stories. The horror of the violent partition of British India into Pakistan and India has seldom been so vividly described.
While many listeners might blame the actual humans and religious communities committing rape and murder, this podcast blames the British Empire for deepening religious identities during the colonial era. This claim might be true, but it hardly prevents the individuals and communities of agency in the post-colonial period.
Episodes 1,5, and 6 deserve much wider audiences and many awards.
