2017 was the 70th anniversary of the Partition of the Indian Raj which caused such an epidemic of bloodshed. Oxford's Yasmin Khan has written some great books around this subject and has family recollections to draw from. Yasmin draws you into her world with sparkling storytelling, and then lands a couple of very heavy punches. Turns out, Brits are a bit lazy when it comes to major separations. Once we had decided it was time to go, we actually pulled forward the date and watched as the chaos ensued. Yikes.
