Probably the closest thing to a partition memorial … Heartfelt and beautifully judged

John Keay, Literary Review

Kavita Puri's book is the most humane account of partition I've read … Partition Voices is important because Puri does not flinch as she dissects the tumultuous event, never shying away from the trauma … We need a candid conversation about our past and this is an essential starting point

Nikesh Shukla, Observer
