A no holds barred depiction of both sides of the border. We certainly need more books like this and raise the awareness of peace and live in both Punjab’s. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Book with a thought *by N***I on 27 March 2021* This book reflects a sense of longing among characters, who have had a connection with India or Pakistan. The sense of longing, as believed by the author, is felt much more in the older generation, while the newer generation mostly wants to move on, despite having a deep curiosity about the life of their forefathers back then.There is hardly any mention of the historic realities happened on the ground during the partition. The book doesn't focus on the causes but rather on the impact it had on lives. Being my first book on partition, I would have rather read something else. The author also mentions her own longing about seeing her hometown, Batala, but she never went there due to loss of connections, despite visiting India several times. Sometimes, she brings facets of her own life, and blends it with the narrative. This makes this book an emotional read, but not informative.Zakaria talks about the cumbersome bureaucracy that halts visa decisions, the love-hate relationship partition survivors have with India or Pakistan, the resentful mentalities, the unity and animosity of different communities, the cultural disparities of cities where people moved, the social taboos that come along in being an Indian or a Pakistani, the biased school history books, and the importance people give to discover their roots - the part of inherent human nature.The author has compiled the book by making direct interviews with people. Infact, it was one of her interviews that prompted her to write this book. Not a bad read, but it doesn't talk much about the history, just narrates blurring memories of people who suffered due to partition, years after. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good read *by P***H on 27 February 2017* Good read!! Given 5 stars for the honesty that the book reflects and the research (amount of interviews) that author has conducted over a period of 3 years to write the book. Concept of interviewing people over 4 generations on the same topic is unique. Another eye opener is how school education unconsciously builds a persons biases. I will recommend this book for everyone who is in favor of increase in people to people contact across border and wishes that both the governments should soften their political stand towards each other. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Footprints of Partition: Narratives of Four Generations of Pakistanis and Indians - The Other Side of Silence: Voices from the Partition of India - The Great Partition: The Making of India and Pakistan --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/83912089-the-footprints-of-partition-narratives-of-four-generations-of-pakistanis](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/83912089-the-footprints-of-partition-narratives-of-four-generations-of-pakistanis) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
