Letters from Partition
In the summer of 1947 a letter is received by Chaudri Latif, the Muslim occupant of a house in Lahore, Pakistan.
The letter is from the house's former owner, Harkishan Das Bedi, a Lahori Hindu who has fled east as the partition of the Indian sub-continent turned to tragedy and mass murder. The contents of that letter would lead to a relationship between the two men that each would rely upon to survive, though caught on opposite sides of the conflict generated by the hasty departure of the British colonial power.
What exactly did that letter say and what happened to these two men?
