Violence Martyrdom And Partition A Daughters Testimony Nonica Datta by Nonica Datta 9780195699340, 0195699343 instant download after payment.

This book presents the oral testimony of Subhashini (1914-2003), the woman head of a well-known Arya Samaj institution devoted to women's education in rural north India. Subhashini's narrative unfolds a story, within a sea of stories, which has remained silent in the dominant historical
discourse. Her memory evokes contrasting images of violence, martyrdom and Partition. Not 1947 but 1942--the year of her father's 'martyrdom'--is recalled as a violent rupture in her memory. Partition is a moment of celebration, revenge, divine retribution, empathy, remorse, tragedy and fear.
Translating Subhashini's oral testimony, Nonica Datta recreates the memory of a colonial subject, living in postcolonial times, as a historical narrative. Moving beyond a historical event and well-established historical facts, Violence, Martyrdom and Partition is a parallel history of events and
non-events, memory and history, testimony and experience. Breaking the silence of an oral testimony and presenting memory as history, this work opens up the historians' territory.
This testimony defies the opposition between subject and agent, victim and victimizer, witness and survivor, aggressor and spectator, perpetrator and bystander. Subhashini's candid, repetitive narrative suggests a remarkable interplay of individual and collective remembrance, and reveals the
shifts, ambiguities, silences and contradictions in an individual memory.
