Editor's Note:
This issue is dedicated to India and Pakistan; to a peace process
that should have begun long ago. Just a border away, we know
little about the other nation beyond the obvious cliche-ridden
assumptions. Partition has created not just a geographical
divide but a formidable chasm in the emotional psyche of both
people. Outside knee-jerk reaction to the violence of Partition,
have we questioned the events that led to it? And must a fiftythree-year
old nightmare be sustained? Do we allow the wound to fester?
Must we not start a healing process?...
