Description
A Time of Madness: A Memoir of Partition by Salman Rashid In 1947, the city of Jalandhar in Punjab was plunged into chaos as the Indian subcontinent was divided. Salman Rashid's family was among the nearly two million people forced to flee their homes, seeking refuge in Pakistan. This traumatic event had a profound impact on Rashid's life, shaping his experiences and perspectives for decades to come. In 2008, Rashid made a journey back to his ancestral village, driven by a desire to uncover the truth about his family's past. The result is a powerful and poignant memoir that explores the complexities of human nature in the face of unimaginable brutality. With great sensitivity and nuance, Rashid shares his story, revealing the resilience of the human spirit and the power of forgiveness and redemption.
