The event was chaired by Dr. Tahir Kamran, Head of Department, DLA, and thoughtfully moderated by Esha Khizar, Faculty, DLA. Dr. Akbar Zaidi, Executive Director, IBA Karachi, joined as the distinguished guest speaker, leading a nuanced, analytically rich discussion on the subcontinent’s complex past and its evolving political and social futures.
The volume critically examined how film, literature, curricula, and public discourse continue to reproduce Partition as an ongoing historical project, with contributions from scholars across India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Notable chapters included work by the late Dr. Qaiser Abbas and Dr. Mazhar Abbas, while the session drew an engaged, intellectually vibrant audience of faculty, students, and guests.
