The year of 1947 is the defining moment in history of the Indian subcontinent, when the British left and created Pakistan and India. These new states emerged carrying huge human suffering as violence forced millions of people to migrate. Even after 64 years, the experiences of partition continue to affect not only the survivors, but also the sociopolitical structures. This paper explores different currents in psychosocial sequelae of forced migration from a social violence perspective and focuses specifically on the postmigration experiences. It begins with the analysis of direct encounters of partition process and gradually takes the debate into wider sociological context. The struggles of remembrance and forgetfulness, socio-cultural norms aggravating the existing pain, counter-productive relief efforts, and the problematics of creating a social memory are some of the key aspects that will be examined.
