- Mapmaking: Partition Stories from Two Bengals brings together renowned writers from Bangladesh and West Bengal including Ritwik Ghatak, Hasan Azizul Haq and Manik Bandopadhayay.
- It is a unique attempt to see how partition has shaped the narrative of the two regions that share a common language, culture and heritage. These haunting narratives question the finality and resolution of partition, the insufficiency of memories and the instability of borders.
- As the stories unfold a tragic tale of the loss of a world, we once again come to witness how every time narratives of the partition are re-told, they point towards our changing values, our present and our future.
- In the Foreword, Ashis Nandy, in his inimitable style explains the hegemony of silence on partition, 'Perhaps the principal reason for the desperate refusal to work through the memories of 1946-48 is that these memories do not genuinely fit our acquired concepts of nationalism, progress and the state.
- They demand a different approach to the dominant ideas of governance and statecraft, to mass violence and resistance to it at grassroots'
