10.30 am to 4.30 pm
All are welcome
The closing seminar of the series of dialogues and conversations entitled ‘Partition: The Long Shadow’ returns to some of the themes discussed during the series and explores them further. The seminar is not intended as an academic exercise, rather its aim is to look at how partition continues to live on in our lives in the subcontinent and how to move away from it, into the future. We have planned the seminar not as a set of formal presentations but as a series of conversations and panels. On both days, we will have such conversations, and these will be followed by panels. Given below is a tentative programme.
