The psychological impact of the partition of India (1st)

This work studies the psychological impact of Partition through medical and psychiatric perspectives.

The Partition of India was a partitioning of minds as much as it was a geographical division.

But there has been little discussion in mental health discourse on the psychological scars it caused.

This book examines the partitioning of human experience and its impact on social life and psychological health.

The chapters track, through various approaches, the breakdown of civic life and society during the cataclysmic event, the collapse of medical services, the violence against citizens and the reflection of these events in writings of that era.
