| As part of Pakistan India People's Forum for Peace & Democracy (PIPFPD) India Chapter, Team Dastangoi presented this dastan. Dastan-e-Taqseem-e-Hind or the Partition Tale is a melange of literature around partition of India, archival material, news reportage, documentaries, excerpts from academic monographs, personal memoirs, and poetry, interwoven and bound by our narrative. | The Partition Tale was first commissioned by Urvashi Butalia of Zubaan Books in 2007 to commemorate the sixtieth year of this horrific incident in the history of Indian sub-continent. We liberally take material from Krishan Chander, Rahi Masoom Raza, Faiz Ahmed Faiz, Manto, Ghulam Rabbani Taban, Amrita Pritam, Vazira Fazila-Yacoobali Zamindar, Intizar Hussain, Mir Anees, et al, besides archival material and personal memoirs like Begum Anis Kidwai's "Azadi ki Chhaon Mein." |
