Abstract

In light of the seventy-fifth year of India’s independence from colonial rule and the Indian government’s announcement that 14 August will be commemorated as ‘Partition Horrors Remembrance Day’, this article connects the histories of the three nations in the Indian subcontinent: India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. Using inputs from archives and oral testimonies, this article will revisit the important date of 15 August 1947, to preserve the multiple meanings of the day as portrayed in official and public memories.

纪念印度次大陆历史上的一个日子

鉴于印度从殖民统治下独立75周年，以及印度政府宣布将8月14日定为“分裂恐怖纪念日”，本文将印度次大陆三个国家:印度、巴基斯坦和孟加拉国的历史联系起来。本文将利用档案资料和口述证词，重新审视1947年8月15日这一重要日期，以保留官方和公众记忆中所描绘的这一天的多重含义。

期刊介绍： Studies in History reflects the considerable expansion and diversification that has occurred in historical research in India in recent years. The old preoccupation with political history has been integrated into a broader framework which places equal emphasis on social, economic and cultural history. Studies in History examines regional problems and pays attention to some of the neglected periods of India"s past. The journal also publishes articles concerning countries other than India. It provides a forum for articles on the writing of different varieties of history, and contributions challenging received wisdom on long standing issues.
