Jayanti Basu is Professor, Department of Applied Psychology, University of Calcutta, and a practising psychoanalyst. Alan Roland is a psychoanalyst, artist and playwright.
"Dr Basu's book also dwells on the anti-Muslim violence and the ferocity of Hindu anti-socials in Kolkata during the riots, and helplessness and guilt teenagers witness to the killing of innocent Muslims harboured for years. Even as it turns to look back objectively at an event that geographically redrew boundaries, and created divisions where there were none, this captivating document demands that we learn from history. It is also an appeal to recognize our common legacy in the wake of the myriad problems the partition created.One only hopes that fundamentalist hardliners of all hues lend it an ear." - By Rina Mukherji, 15/08/13
