Excellent piece by Menaka Guruswamy: Why India must end its official amnesia about the horrors of Partition

Friday, 3 June 2016 By Legally India Bar, Bench & Litigation

“We have a constitutional, political, legal and social amnesia about the horrors that accompanied our founding,” argued Supreme Court lawyer and Yale Law School visiting faculty Menaka Guruswamy persuasively in Scroll, about the death and bloodshed of the India Pakistan partition of 1947 that saw millions displaced and between 0.5 million and 2 million dead, according to various estimates.

Still looking into the issue, it doesn't look straightforward... Will post an update either in a separate story or here when there is one.

Yes, actually, been doing some more digging on this but lost track for a little while.

Still not sure on whether something should be published on this, as it's not a clear-cut case from what I can tell, but have picked up communications with parties again on this.

Will keep you posted.
