South Asia, the partition of India and the birth of three nations

Presenting anecdotes from her book 'Shadows at Noon' – a rich history sharing the stories of South Asia from the 20th century – Professor Joya Chatterji FBA discusses her view that India, Pakistan and Bangladesh have remained more similar than different, while acknowledging the difficulties of nationalism.
