| Introduction | The Indian Subcontinent Partition Documentation (ISPaD) Project aims to preserve the heretofore unknown history of the Partition of the Indian Subcontinent. In Bengal, as in much of the Indian Subcontinent, there is a taboo in discussing the plight of minorities and researching the whereabouts of the missing population of minorities. The ISPaD Project attempts to break that taboo, trying to estimate the number & status of minorities in Bangladesh (the East Bengal of the erstwhile Bengal Province of British-ruled-India) and to answer the all too frequently asked question: Where have my people gone? Foci 1. Documentation of the history of Indian Partition: including conducting interviews for preservation of a first-person oral history as well as "conventional research". 2. Documentation of the present-day effects of Indian partition. 3. Maintenance of ISPaD's presence on various social-media sites. 4. Coordination and planning of an annual Partition Studies Conference. |
