Partition

Wonderfully engaging podcast on the impact of Partition! It would be deserving of five stars, if not for the maddening background music—that of repetitively plucked strings—that plays incessantly behind the speaking of individuals and as a connecting line between segments. This one element makes the series nearly unlistenable. Ultimately, it is absolutely worth listening to. The series is heartfelt, necessary, and long overdue. This specific music choice and its overuse is simply an unfortunate misstep in a successful, beautiful production.

I am so grateful for this pocdcast and to be learning more about Partition directly from people and communities affected. Neha is a great narrator and nails both the honest podcaster on this journey with us, and the historian covering devastating events. Please listen and tell your friends.

We need more shows that go beyond the facts and in to the impact of politics on real people

I found this podcast after reading Unmarriageable, a retelling of Pride and Prejudice set in Pakistan. I was searching on google, YouTube and apple to get visual and historical context. I was thrilled to find this podcast. I learned so much about the history of India and Pakistan. I’ve always loved world history and was shocked to learn what had never been covered in my education. Thank you for Partition, the podcast!
