Every act of creation has the potential to change the world, whether a little bit at a time or all at once. The creation of Pakistan, in 1947, certainly changed the geopolitical landscape of the world forever. But the lives of more than fifteen million people were changed as well, with the partitioning of India sowing hatred and division between generational neighbors, turning long-standing harmony into brutally violent dissonance, and displacing entire families from their ancestral homes.
This is the personal memoir of Author Zaki Sabih, who nearly eighty years ago found himself among those displaced millions, torn from both his homeland and his idyllic childhood for reasons he was far too young at the time to understand.
But it is more than a memoir as well: It is the story of the millions of Indian Muslims who were slaughtered and betrayed in the name of Pakistan; an overt criticism of religious extremism and ultranationalism; and finally, a fiercely taken stance on the vital importance of secularism in all aspects of the political sphere.
