Millions displaced. Millions dead. Borders redrawn in blood and dust.
Between 1937 and 1971, South Asia was shattered, not once, but five times. From Burma’s separation to the birth of Bangladesh, the British Raj fractured into new nations, each carrying the scars of migration, memory, and loss.
In this episode of Rearview Mirror Chronicles, we trace the story of Shattered Lands: The Five Partitions and the Making of Modern Asia, a journey through the chaos of empire, the dream of independence, and the price of freedom still being paid today.
Because history doesn’t just live in the past. It breathes in every border, every name, and every silence left behind.
