Research by the Lakshmi Mittal and Family South Asia Institute (LMFSAI), Harvard University, led by Professor
Jennifer Leaning, Research Fellow at the Harvard FXB Center for Health and Human Rights, has culminated into a book titled
’The 1947 Partition of British India: Forced Migration and its Reverberations’. The book, co-edited by Professor Leaning and
Shubhangi Bhadada, Mittal Institute Fellow at LMFSAI, is a collection of chapters related to Partition studies. Experts from various disciplines from the three major modern nation-states affected by this cataclysm—Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan—have collaborated for this book. In October 2022, Professor Leaning accompanied by Hitesh Hathi, Executive Director, LMFSAI, toured India, Pakistan, and Dubai. The India Research Center assisted with the book tour and media outreach. An interview with the editors was published in a mainstream
English daily column in India.
