Later, she realized the need to record these stories to remember the events and individual experiences of the Partition. Since the creation of The 1947 Partition Archive, it has become one of the largest records of oral history with more than 10,000 Partition survivors\u2019 stories recorded. The archive is based on crowdsourced, community-based recorded data, while also training local community members to document, preserve and share oral histories of Partition witnesses in their communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After discussing several Partition stories, Ghosh led a Q&amp;A with Bhalla, followed by questions from the audience.\u00a0Bhalla and Ghosh reflected that Partition still lingers as a trauma and affects subcontinental politics and cultures.\u00a0However, the stories from the archive reflect an empathy from the people who experienced the Partition, regardless of their gender, religion or nationality.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>View the recording <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=VKPJmykmxUM\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Puja Shanbhag On April 12, 2023 the India Center hosted Guneeta Singh Bhalla, Ph.D., founder of the 1947 Partition Archive.\u00a0Bhalla presented on her project on India\u2019s Partition.
