At CCIR Academy, Gauri is researching the Indo-Pak Partition of 1947. Her project is titled “The Indo-Pak Partition of 1947: Tracing Memories and Impact in Small Towns.”
Many studies focus on the Partition’s large-scale consequences. However, they often overlook smaller towns and their communities. Gauri’s research takes a different approach. She explores how people in these towns remember the Partition and how it affected their lives.
Exploring the Partition Through Individual Experiences
Gauri uses qualitative research methods to examine the Partition’s historical and social effects. This approach helps her explore personal memories and community experiences.
As a result, her research highlights perspectives that mainstream historical accounts may overlook. It also offers a closer look at how smaller towns experienced this major historical event.
