“We have to leave.”
1947.
It was considered one of the most memorable years in Indian history. The year of freedom.
But every coin has two sides. While the country celebrated, cries for mercy floated across a newly created border. A free country was now being split into two.
Padma Bajaj is an unapologetic, headstrong and progressive woman and an advocate for education, especially for girls. Ever since she got married as a young girl, however, she has been searching for a place to call home.
But when her family knows of the Partition of India and Pakistan, they know that they have to leave, as each day passes with a struggle to remain safe.
Padma has to migrate from Pakistan to the new nation – Hindustan, leaving behind everything her family had built. But is it really possible to make it across safely when the countries are in turmoil?
Is it possible to piece life back together again?

Isha Merchant lives in Bangalore with her family (which includes two furry members). When not participating in the real world, you’ll find her tucked away in the corner with a book (and sometimes a pen.) She’s occasionally dragged into reality to play a game of tennis, enjoy a Kathak class, or normal school problems, before floating back into the fascinating world of books. She loves history and historical fiction, seeing them as a medium to revisit lost times.
