Thakurta, Sravasti Guha
- Abstract
India's freedom at midnight, Nehru remarked sadly in his Independence Day speech, was won at the intolerably high cost of a communal holocaust. Partition's most tragic casualty was the man who had led India to Independence. Mahatma Gandhi was shot ... [dead] in January 1948. (Kumar 2005: 22-23) However, a fact which must, on no account be disregarded, is that, in spite of the ensuing violence, there persisted, on both sides, memories of a syncretic culture, of a shared cultural heritage.
