INTERROGATING RELIGION AND CULTURE THROUGH THE LENS OF ORAL HISTORIES
In this engaging book, Dorothy McMenamin shines a light on the often-overlooked stories of Anglo-Indians-people of mixed British and Indian heritage-who lived in the areas that later became Pakistan. Through heartfelt interviews and personal accounts, she shares their dramatic journeys during and after the 1947 Partition of India. The book captures the emotional struggles of families navigating identity, loss, and migration, whether they stayed in Pakistan or moved abroad. McMenamin challenges the common focus on colonial power and racism in history, arguing instead that Anglo-Indians were not just passive victims. She highlights their resilience, adaptability, and the unique cultural bridges they built. Her own deep connection to the Anglo-Indian community, both in Pakistan and across the global diaspora, adds warmth and authenticity to the research. This work is a refreshing reminder of the humanity and strength of a group often forgotten in history, offering new insights into their lives beyond stereotypes.
