“Shadows at Noon: The South Asian Twentieth Century”
 
Join Joya Chatterji (Trinity Coll., Cambridge), Durba Ghosh (Cornell Univ.), and Partha Pratim Shil (Stanford Univ.) for a discussion on Dr. Chatterji's new book Shadows at Noon. Taking the partitions of British India rather than the two world wars as the century’s inflection points, this original and ambitious history of the Indian subcontinent explores the region’s unique twentieth-century history and foregrounds the deep connections, rather than the well-publicized fissures, between the cultures of India and Pakistan.
