Meet local author, Sid Sahib, as he discusses his book, Undivided: A Tale of an Unbroken Nation.

Undivided seeks to bring attention to a significant yet often overlooked historical event in the West: The Partition of India. This tragic chapter, marked by widespread bloodshed, resulted in the deaths of nearly 2 million people, the displacement of 15 million, and the appalling victimization of approximately 75,000 women during India's division into Pakistan in 1947. For the nearly six million South Asians now residing in the US, including a significant community in our area and five members in Congress of South Asian descent, the Partition remains one of the most painful episodes in our shared history—often the personal stories of our grandparents and great-grandparents. Undivided imagines an alternate history where this Partition never occurred, set against the backdrop of 1940s and 1950s India. It explores the endurance of love amidst characters grappling with rejection and suffering.

Born in India, Sid Sahib lived and worked in several countries before finally settling in the United States nearly 30 years ago. As a resident of Montgomery County and a graduate of Cornell University, Sid established himself as a business professional, but his true love remains the arts. A speaker of multiple languages, he enjoys insights into different cultures and appreciates the sensitivities of varying perspectives. Mr. Sahib will discuss his book, answer questions, and sign copies of Undivided.
