PROMINENT MUSLIM JOURNALIST MISHAL HUSAIN ON HER BOOK "BROKEN THREADS"
British newsreader and journalist Mishal Husain spoke at Westminster University about her book "Broken Threads: My Family from Empire to Independence".
The book reflects on her grandparents' experiences during the decline of the British Empire and the partition of India after 300 years of colonial rule.
The partition, a pivotal moment in South Asian history, led to one of the largest migrations in history, with millions of Muslims moving to what became West and East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) and millions of Hindus and Sikhs relocating to India.
