Description: Title: Broken Threads: My Family from Empire to Independence Author: Mishal Husain Price: ₨ 3,245 ISBN: 9780008531690 Publisher: 4TH ESTATE Publication Date: 2024 Format: Paperback Pages: 301 Weight: 0.38 kg Language: English Description: Broken Threads is an extraordinary history of Mishal Husain’s four grandparents, whose lives were shaped by the tumultuous politics and prejudices of empire, war, and partition. In this narrative odyssey, Husain traces the complexities of her ancestry, shedding light on a landmark historical period. Mary, a devout Catholic of Anglo-Indian parentage, leaves a struggling family to train as a nurse. Tahirah, born to middle-class Muslim parents, grows up with a focus on education and aspiration. Mumtaz steps away from everything he knows to train as a doctor, while Shahid finds purpose and success as a Sandhurst cadet. This gripping family history unfolds against the backdrop of a nation becoming increasingly divided due to social inequality, civil disobedience, and the Second World War. The end of two centuries of British rule in South Asia culminates in the bloody birth of independent India and Pakistan, fracturing families and communities and leaving a legacy of distrust and conflict that endures today. In constructing a warm and vivid portrait of an exceptional family, Broken Threads confronts the acute sense of loss brought on by partition, the rupturing of cross-border relationships, and the resulting shift in identities.
