The modern relationship between the Vatican and the State of Israel is rooted in a long history of hostility between Judaism and Roman Catholicism. Through the centuries, popes and theologians marginalized the Jewish people, assigning them collective guilt for the death of Jesus Christ and claiming that the sacred territory of Palestine was the true patrimony of the Roman Catholic Church. With the advent of political Zionism in the nineteenth century, Catholic fears of a Jewish-dominated Palestine were renewed. Contesting Zion: The Vatican, American Catholics, and the Partition of Palestine (McGill-Queen's UP, 2025) examines the relationship between the Vatican and the Zionist movement from the Balfour Declaration in 1917 to the first decade of Israeli statehood. Adrian Ciani considers the transnational nature of Catholic responses to Zionism and the creation of Israel, with a focus on the Catholic Church in the United States. From the 1920s through the 1950s, American Catholic leaders became crucial intermediaries between Washington and the Vatican. Speaking as both loyal American citizens and devout Catholics, they were uniquely positioned to articulate the Vatican's policy objectives to the American government, including on the future of Palestine. American Catholics were also instrumental in advocating the church's Palestine policy at the United Nations, playing a central role in the Holy See's attempts to shape the twentieth-century international order.

A book of Jaun Elia's poems no one had read — until now. Javed Akhtar launches Kyun and opens up the poet's hidden world.On Jaun Elia's birth anniversary, Jashn-e-Rekhta hosts the launch of Kyun, a collection of the legendary Urdu poet's previously unpublished work, compiled by Khalid Akhtar Ansari and Adeel Zaidi and released by Javed Akhtar. In conversation with Moin Shadab, Javed Akhtar and Jaun's niece Rukhsar Amrohi open up a side of the poet few have heard.Javed Akhtar unpacks Jaun's craft like only he can explaining sahl-e-mumtana, the deceptively hard art of writing in simple, everyday language while carrying immense poetic weight, and why Jaun's simplicity was a choice born of mastery, not a shortage of words. He calls Jaun's poetry an emotional lava that turns prose into verse, and reflects on the blunder of Partition through the life of a man whose country was Pakistan but whose soul never left Amroha.Rukhsar Amrohi shares intimate memories: the heavy silence that settled over their Amroha home after his migration in 1957, and his return years later when he knelt at the station to kiss the soil and embraced the trees of his old home like a man overjoyed. She also recalls the wasiyat he left her: to carry the family's poetic tradition forward.Javed Akhtar closes by reciting and decoding some of Jaun Elia's most iconic couplets.

One historian. Seven centuries of India. One unforgettable conversation.In this episode of Rekhta Rubaru, legendary historian Professor Irfan Habib joins Moid Rasheedi for a sweeping conversation on the making of India's cultural, political and linguistic history.From the memories of Partition and the Lahore Resolution to the atmosphere in Aligarh during a turning point in India's history, Habib reflects on the dangers of allowing religion to shape the future of a nation. He also recalls Maulana Abul Kalam Azad's 1949 AMU convocation speech and the promise that helped preserve the university's character.The conversation moves through the world of Amir Khusrau, whom Habib describes as India's first patriotic poet, and traces the evolution of Hindavi, Persian, Urdu and Hindi. He also speaks about Akbar's vision, Gandhi's idea of Hindustani, Dara Shikoh's translation of the Upanishads, and Sir Syed Ahmed Khan's complex legacy in education, archaeology and colonial India.A rich, thought-provoking episode for anyone interested in Urdu, Indian history, language, culture, Partition, Mughal history and the many ideas that shaped India.

It's Memorial Day weekend, and while many of us are using the three-day break as an absolute escape hatch from our hectic schedules, a vacation won't fix a lack of structure. Today is also Pentecost Sunday, and in Part 2 of our Crushing Chaos series, Pastor Tom drops a truth bomb that will completely reframe your week: "The answer to chaos isn't peace... it's order. And Godly order requires PARTITION." In this message, "The Power of Partition," we look at how the Holy Spirit fell like fire not just to give the disciples goosebumps, but to draw a line in the sand—separating them from the chaos of the world for a global destiny. In this episode:

Dans cet épisode, Minter Dial reçoit Michel Podolak, chef d'orchestre, explorateur du vivant et passeur entre musique, entreprise et sagesses autochtones. De sa première vie consacrée à la musique à son engagement auprès des peuples racines comme les Kogis de Colombie, en passant par son expérience du leadership dans le monde de l'entreprise, Michel Podolak partage un parcours pluriel et singulier, nourri de rencontres déterminantes et d'une soif constante d'apprentissage. Au fil d'une conversation généreuse, Minter Dial et Michel Podolak interrogent le sens du leadership, la puissance de la vibration collective, la juste place de l'égo, et l'importance de l'écoute profonde—dans l'orchestre comme dans l'organisation. Ils questionnent aussi notre capacité à accueillir l'erreur, à cultiver la coopération plutôt que la simple collaboration, et à s'ancrer dans le présent, inspirés par la sagesse des sociétés autochtones. Préparez-vous à découvrir un dialogue inspirant, entre art, management et spiritualité, où chaque note, chaque silence et chaque histoire résonnent comme une invitation à ralentir, écouter et œuvrer ensemble pour un monde plus vivant et plus juste.

Piyush Mishra brings his full self to this live Jashn-e-Rekhta session, sharp humour, raw memories, music, poetry, and the kind of honesty that refuses to sound rehearsed.In this conversation, he opens up about love, heartbreak, and why today's fast-moving Gen Z relationships often miss the patience and depth of old-school romance. He speaks about acting as imagination, not just technique, and shares hard-earned truths from his early Mumbai days, when survival, writing, theatre, and cinema were all part of the same struggle.The discussion moves from NSD and the myth of instant fame to the emotional cost of chasing art in a city like Mumbai. Piyush Mishra reflects on guilt, ego, Vipassana, alcoholism, truth, and the personal battles that shaped his voice as an artist. He also recalls Anurag Kashyap, Kay Kay Menon, and the creative integrity behind Black Friday.Alongside the conversation, the session carries powerful musical moments and memories connected to Ek Bagal Mein Chand Hoga, Aarambh Hai Prachand, and Husna. From Bhagat Singh and Faiz Ahmad Faiz to Partition pain and the loneliness of the artist, this episode is a rare mix of laughter, confession, music, and literary fire.Listen to Piyush Mishra at his most unfiltered, poetic, funny, wounded, and alive.

Who was the last Viceroy of India and why was his marriage so unconventional? How many affairs did Edwina Mountbatten have? Why was Lord Mountbatten known as the “Master of Disaster” by senior Navy officials? In Episode 2 of Empire's first members' miniseries, Anita is joined once again by Alex Von Tunzelmann to discuss the origin story of the remaining two characters in the love triangle that shaped partition: Louis and Edwina Mountbatten.

Between 1857 and 1947, over 28 million Indians left the subcontinent to live, work and study elsewhere. Today, India has the largest diaspora in the world, with approximately 18 million Indians living overseas. Though often absent from historical narratives, migrant children were instrumental during the time of the British Empire in the development not only of Indian national and diasporic identities, but of British identity too. These children were marginalised by their political status, their race and their age; yet they were fundamental to historical change, from the 1830s through to independence in 1947. Imperial Footprints: A History of South Asian Child Migrants in Britain (Hurst, 2026) by Dr. Sumita Mukherjee vividly charts this history of emigration from British India to the imperial heartland, through the eyes of its youngest participants. From pupils sent to English boarding schools and runaway servants, to sailor children and refugees of war or Partition, Sumita Mukherjee reveals that these child migrants were crucial players in founding Indian communities abroad. Drawing on archival records and firsthand accounts, she offers a portrait of migration to Britain that pre-dated the larger waves of arrivals post-war. Imperial Footprints challenges the assumptions of the historical voices we often foreground; reflects on post-colonial legacies; and offers a fascinating new perspective on migration and empire. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Today on Behaviour Speak, Ben sits down with Dr. Ammara Khalid for a powerful conversation on the intergenerational impact of the 1947 Partition of South Asia. Together, they explore one of the largest mass migrations in human history and the trauma, displacement, silence, and resilience that continue to shape generations across the South Asian diaspora. Drawing from her clinical work, research, and her own family's migration story, Dr. Khalid discusses how trauma is passed through families not only through stories, but also through silence, survival patterns, cultural expectations, and the body itself. Ben and Dr. Khalid discuss: The historical and psychological impact of the Partition of India and Pakistan Intergenerational trauma and inherited survival responses Silence, stigma, and emotional suppression in South Asian families Decolonizing mental health practices The role of curiosity, compassion, storytelling, and community in healing Cultural approaches to therapy, music, movement, spirituality, and collective care Racism, migration, identity, and belonging in the diaspora Dr. Khalid's upcoming book: The South Asian Guide to Healing: Breaking the Cycle of Trauma This episode is an important conversation about memory, migration, resilience, and healing — and about learning how to honour our histories without being trapped by them.

In this powerful conversation from Jashn-e-Rekhta, filmmaker Nandita Das and actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui join RJ Sayema to speak about bringing Manto's life, mind and contradictions to the screen.Nawazuddin reflects on playing Manto and the strange after-effect of carrying his honesty into real life. Nandita Das explains why the film stays rooted in the years around Partition, from 1946 to 1950, and how Manto's questions around identity, religion, nationalism, women and censorship continue to feel unsettlingly current.The conversation also goes behind the scenes of recreating 1940s Lahore, holding a creative line, and understanding Manto's writing as something plain, sharp and impossible to ignore. For anyone interested in Urdu literature, cinema, Partition stories, or the life of Saadat Hasan Manto, this is a rare and deeply revealing listen.

This week on News Weakly, Sami Shah takes on one of the most circular, exhausting debates in modern politics: how we talk about Israel and Palestine—and why the conversation keeps going nowhere.Using the comparison between Pakistan and Israel, this episode reframes the discussion away from slogans and toward something more useful: treating countries like countries, not symbols.From the legacy of Partition in 1947 to the ongoing realities of Gaza, the West Bank, and global politics, Sami explores why some states are criticised for their actions, while others are endlessly debated for their right to exist.Plus: what the creation of Bangladesh in 1971 can teach us about Palestine, the limits of American protection, and why “impossible” states have a habit of becoming real.All that, and more.Sami Shah is a multi-award-winning comedian, writer, journalist, and broadcaster.For more: http://thesamishah.comTheme music 'Historic Anticipation' by Paul MottramThis podcast is written, hosted, and produced by Sami Shah.

The Mountbattens & The Making of Modern India by K.Z. Islam, Munawar Karim https://www.amazon.com/Mountbattens-Making-Modern-India/dp/1965555365 The Mountbattens and the Making of Modern India is a scholarly based investigation that seeks to investigate one of the most notable episodes of the twentieth century that is the Partition of India, which took place in 1947. This book was written by K. Z. Islam, and edit by Munawar Karim, it is a chronicle of the complex interweaving of ambition, politics and personal relationships that shaped the destiny of the subcontinent. The book focuses on the role of the last British Viceroy, Lord Louis Mountbatten, and his powerful wife, Edwina, as they steered British colonial India through independence. It looks at controversial choices Mountbatten made and his troubled relationships with Nehru, Jinnah and Gandhi and the heartbreaking Nehru-Edwina correspondence. This book examines the Simla Scheme, the Radcliffe Boundary Awards and the process of integrating princely states, and in doing so, it shows just how successful the rush-job partition was, as well as how many successes it led to tragedies as millions were displaced and numbers of people killed. The Mountbattens and the Making of Modern India is a powerful book with lively, evocative writing and sharp analysis, which brings a new reflection on the history of partition, its legacy, and the points of ethical ambiguity of leadership at times of crisis. A must for history lovers, scholars and those people who have got attracted by the complex play of power and personality, this book is a necessary addition to the library in case of people who wanted to read about the creation of modern south Asia.

Halfway through the World Cinema Project Vol. 1 boxset and the hits keep coming. This week it's all about the trauma of separation: familial and economic, but also in light of the Partition of India and Bangladeshi independence. Ritwik Ghatak's A River Called Titas (1973) is an intimidating work, lengthy and meandering like the titular river. Its also beautiful and dynamic, tragic and melodramatic. Its a full package brimming over, and a highlight in a boxset that's only highlights.

Sirdar Kapur Singh, one of the leading Sikh thinkers of the twentieth century, developed one of the clearest arguments for a Sikh homeland within postcolonial India. Across speeches, interviews, and essays, he argued that such a homeland was inalienable from the Sikhs, historically inevitable, and politically necessary. His theory emerged from the violence and dislocations of the 1947 Partition and its long aftermath and was rooted in a deep understanding of Guru Gobind Singh Sahib's vision of the Khalsa.Read more: https://sikhri.org/articles/sirdar-kapur-singhs-idea-of-the-sikh-homelandFeaturing: Damanpreet Singh (https://sikhri.org/people/damanpreet-singh)Santbir Singh (https://sikhri.org/people/santbir-singh)
