I have just finished reading this book. Marina Wheeler has done history a great service by writing about pre-Partition Sargodha, and the Sikh and Hindu heritage and communities of that city and its surrounding chaks. For those of us that grew up in intermarried households in that area after Partition, there was no way of knowing that history as our elders were too traumatized and never spoke of it. This book fills in historic gaps, as almost no histories remain of Sikh and Hindu Sargodha. Dip Wheeler's life was legendary.

Hi Saida, by intermarried households do you mean mixed faith families left in the area after?

It was a lovely discussion, good to know you were able to visit your ancestral homeland.
Partition only refers to the partition of Punjab, not India. It is a story of the people of Punjab, or Bengal in the East. There is no historical Indian nationhood, it's a false construct.
