Tidings with Hazel Kahan

Hazel Kahan’s guest on Tidings is Aanchal Malhotra, speaking to us from Delhi in India. Aanchal is an oral historian and the author of a very beautiful book, Remnants of Partition: 21 objects from a continent divided. It’s beautiful because of the wonderful photographs heading each of the 21 chapters, because of the writing and, beautiful perhaps most of all, for the idea of remnants—the objects carried by those fleeing from either side of the newly created border that partitioned India in 1947—and the power they have to tell a story we might not otherwise hear.
