1947PartitionArchive
The people's history of South Asia over the last century is rich, diverse and barely discovered. The 1947 Partition Archive is a grassroots global effort to document and preserve eye witness accounts from those who are old enough to have lived through the 1947 Partition of British India into present day India, Pakistan and Bangladesh in 1947. Join us on YouTube as we explore new discoveries of our rich heritage - global heritage and not just South Asian heritage - through the oral history contributions from more than 10,000 of you.
Here you'll find ORAL HISTORY, EXPERT COMMENTARY, REFLECTIONS, VLOGS, LIVE EVENTS and much much more.
