| | | Mishal Husain: My family from empire to independence | | | | | | Mishal Husain always knew that the lives of her four grandparents changed forever in 1947 – with the partition of British India into two independent nations: India and Pakistan. This historic moment triggered riots, mass casualties, and a colossal wave of migration, with as many as 12 million refugees moving across new national borders.
In this special livestreamed event, the acclaimed broadcaster will explore how her family history has been shaped by the British empire, war, and India’s independence and partition. Using letters, diaries, memoirs and audio tapes, she will share stories from her family that lived through the chaos, illustrating the scarring legacy of the partition and the importance of understanding these stories today. | | Thursday 6 June 2024, 8pm-9pm BST | | Book tickets |
