The Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) has long been a center in the lives of Indian
Muslims. Located ninety miles southeast of New Delhi--the historic center of Muslim
rule--AMU has been home to many leading intellectuals and reformers. In the years
leading up to Indian independence, it became a hub of pro-Pakistan activism. Graduates
from the 1940s and 1950s carried with them the particular experiences, values and
histories that had defined their lives as AMU students in a self-consciously Muslim
environment surrounded by a non-Muslim majority. Partition's First Generation traces
the paths of AMU graduates who came of age during the anti-colonial struggle in India
and settled throughout the subcontinent after the 1947 Partition. Analysis of a new
archive of oral history narratives from seventy former AMU students reveals histories
of partition as yet unheard. These stories lead across the boundaries of India, Pakistan,
and Bangladesh. The book reframes Partition to draw attention to the ways individuals
experienced ongoing changes associated with "partitioning"--the process through which
familiar spaces and places became strange and sometimes threatening--and it highlights
specific, never-before-studied sites of disturbance distant from the borders
