Summary:
"The year
1971
exists everywhere in Bangladesh
--
on its roads, in sculptures, in its museums and oral history projects, in its curriculum, in people's homes and their stories, and in political discourse. It marks the birth of the nation, its liberation. More than 1000 miles away, in Pakistan too,
1971
marks a watershed moment, its memories sitting uncomfortably in public imagination. It is remembered as the 'Fall of Dacca', the dismemberment of Pakistan or the third Indo-Pak war. In India,
1971
represents something else-the story of humanitarian intervention, of triumph and valour that paved the way for India's rise as a military power, the beginning of its journey to becoming a regional superpower. Navigating the widely varied terrain that is
1971
across Pakistan, Bangladesh and India, Anam Zakaria sifts through three distinct state
narratives
, and studies the institutionalization of the memory of the year and its events. Through a
personal
journey, she juxtaposes state
narratives
with people's history on the ground, bringing forth the nuanced experiences of those who lived through the war. Using intergenerational interviews, textbook analyses, visits to schools and travels to museums and sites commemorating
1971
, Zakaria explores the ways in which the year is remembered and forgotten across countries, generations and communities."--Publisher.
