Partition—the rapid, uncoordinated, and bloody split between India and Pakistan after the Second World War—remains the central event of South Asian history. But 1947 wasn't the only partition, according to historian and filmmaker Sam Dalrymple. Sam, in his book Shattered Lands: Five Partitions and the Making of Modern Asia (William Collins, 2025), notes that “British India” once spanned all the way from the Arabian Peninsula to the border with Thailand, covering South Arabia, South Asia and Burma. Yet between 1937 and 1971, the region split into various different national entities, creating the countries and borders we see today. Sam is a historian, filmmaker, and cofounder of Project Dastaan, a peacebuilding initiative that reconnects refugees displaced by the 1947 partition of India.

As recently as 1928, a vast swathe of Asia – India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Burma, Nepal, Bhutan, Yemen, Oman, the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait – were bound together under a single imperial banner, an entity known officially as the ‘Indian Empire', or more simply as the Raj. It was the British Empire's crown jewel, a vast dominion stretching from the Red Sea to the jungles of Southeast Asia, home to a quarter of the world's population and encompassing the largest Hindu, Muslim, Sikh and Zoroastrian communities on the planet. Its people used the Indian rupee, were issued passports stamped ‘Indian Empire', and were guarded by armies garrisoned in forts from the Bab el-Mandeb to the Himalayas. And then, in the space of just fifty years, the Indian Empire shattered. Five partitions tore it apart, carving out new nations, redrawing maps, and leaving behind a legacy of war, exile and division. Shattered Lands: Five Partitions and the Making of Modern Asia (William Collins and HarperCollins India, 2025) by Sam Dalrymple, for the first time, presents the whole story of how the Indian Empire was unmade. How a single, sprawling dominion became twelve modern nations. How maps were redrawn in boardrooms and on battlefields, by politicians in London and revolutionaries in Delhi, by kings in remote palaces and soldiers in trenches. Its legacies include civil war in Burma and ongoing insurgencies in Kashmir, Baluchistan and Northeast India, and the Rohingya genocide. It is a history of ambition and betrayal, of forgotten wars and unlikely alliances, of borders carved with ink and fire. And, above all, it is the story of how the map of modern Asia was made. Dalrymple's stunning history is based on deep archival research, previously untranslated private memoirs, and interviews in English, Hindi, Urdu, Bengali, Punjabi, Konyak, Arabic and Burmese. From portraits of the key political players to accounts of those swept up in these wars and mass migrations, Shattered Lands is vivid, compelling, thought-provoking history at its best. 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.

Sam Dalrymple joins me for a powerful conversation about his book Shattered Lands: Five Partitions and the Making of Modern Asia, where he unpacks how India went through multiple partitions, not just the 1947 split.We explore the Partition of Bengal, the Partition of Punjab, the role of the Muslim League, and the mass migrations that followed. From the politics of Jinnah, Nehru, Gandhi, and Mountbatten to the creation of Pakistan and the eventual liberation of Bangladesh, this episode dives deep into the people, borders, and decisions that shaped the subcontinent and so much more.Sam argues that 1947 was just one moment in a much longer story of borders being drawn, redrawn, and broken apart.Each event, from the partition of Burma to other lesser known divisions, has left lasting scars. We discuss the historical context and consequences of these partitions, including the 1937 separation of Burma, the forgotten detachment of the Gulf states and Yemen, and how princely state politics quietly shaped much of today's India Pakistan border.We also dive into the creation of Bangladesh in 1971, which Sam calls the real moment the modern map of South Asia was made.What makes this episode special is how personal and human the history feels. Sam shares stories from Project Dastaan, the emotional process of reconnecting families across divided lands, and how even nationalist narratives often unravel when you ask someone about their childhood best friend from “the other side.”This is history through memory, migration, and moments that still shape the region today.Watch the full conversation and let me know in the comments: Which partition do you think left the deepest mark?

Data Streaming und Stream Processing mit Apache Kafka und dem entsprechenden Ecosystem.Eine ganze Menge Prozesse in der Softwareentwicklung bzw. für die Verarbeitung von Daten müssen nicht zur Laufzeit, sondern können asynchron oder dezentral bearbeitet werden.

Before the 1990s, small bits of RNA were considered junk by most, but the 1993 discovery of microRNA (miRNAs) began to reveal that bits of only 19-24 nucleotides of RNA can have an important gene regulation function in cells. Since their discovery, there has been a flurry of work to catalog known miRNAs and understand their functions, which include being tied to specific disease states such as leukemia. According to our guest, Dr. Guy Novotny, Molecular Biologist at Herlev Hospital in Copenhagen, it's now relatively easy to identify a miRNAs and follow their expression, but to figure out what they're actually doing is a real challenge. We hear how he and his team have recently adopted digital PCR, and the benefits that come with it, to study microRNAs and figure out what proteins they're regulating the expression of. This includes basic research, where Guy is “adding to the big pile of data that's existing out there,” and he also does clinical research that has a closer connection to specific disease states and subject outcomes. As always, you'll get to learn about his career journey and learn that there's really not much that cake cannot fix.Visit the Absolute Gene-ius page to learn more about the guests, the hosts, and the Applied Biosystems QuantStudio Absolute Q Digital PCR System.

La ContraHistoria
Las cuatro particiones de Polonia

La ContraHistoria

Play Episode Listen Later Apr 20, 2023 79:33


A finales del siglo XVIII y en menos de 25 años, concretamente entre 1772 y 1795, la mancomunidad de Polonia y Lituania dejó de existir tras una serie de tres particiones que realizaron las potencias adyacentes: el imperio ruso al este, el reino de Prusia al oeste y el archiducado de Austria al sur. Fue un proceso rapidísimo que volatilizó un Estado que había nacido dos siglos antes como una monarquía electiva fruto de la unión del Reino de Polonia y el Gran Ducado de Lituania. La primera de las particiones se produjo en agosto de 1772 tras una guerra con Rusia. Unos años antes, en 1764, el aristócrata Estanislao II Poniatowski fue elegido monarca con la connivencia y el apoyo de su antigua amante, Catalina la Grande, una noble alemana que se había convertido en emperatriz de Rusia tras su matrimonio con el zar Pedro III. Los intentos de reforma de Poniatowski, un rey ilustrado que favorecía las artes y las ciencias, se encontraron con una firme resistencia tanto interna como externa. Cualquier intención de revivir y fortalecer la mancomunidad era peligrosa ya que estaba rodeado de vecinos especialmente ambiciosos y muy expansivos. De hecho, los rusos consideraban a la mancomunidad una suerte de protectorado no declarado. Pero tanto prusianos como austriacos querían su parte del pastel. Para evitar una guerra a tres bandas que hubiese sido muy costosa, los tres monarcas se pusieron de acuerdo en ir repartiéndose partes de la mancomunidad. El primero de los bocados que le dieron fue pequeño. Prusia se apoderó de la costa del Báltico para unir Brandeburgo con Prusia Oriental, Austria hizo lo propio con la región de Galicia, Rutenia y la ciudad de Leópolis en la actual Ucrania, y Rusia se quedó una parte de Bielorrusia. Pero eso resultó no ser suficiente a pesar de que Estanislao II trató de mantener lo que quedaba de la mancomunidad con vida, pero le fue imposible. La segunda partición se llevó a cabo veintiún años más tarde, en 1793, cuando la mancomunidad se encontraba ya muy debilitada internamente y fracturada por diferencias políticas entre los que querían hacer reformas de tipo liberal y los que aspiraban a ponerse bajo la protección de Rusia, que representaba el antiguo régimen y el orden tradicional. En la segunda partición los prusianos se adueñaron de Poznan y la región de la Gran Polonia, y los rusos del resto de Bielorrusia y de la Ucrania polaca. Tras esta partición la mancomunidad quedó reducida a la Pequeña Polonia y a Lituania, que quedaron ambas ocupadas por unidades militares prusianas y rusas. Tras esto sólo consiguió resistir dos años más. En 1794 los polacos se sublevaron contra los ejércitos de ocupación y estalló una breve guerra que concluyó con la tercera y definitiva partición al año siguiente. En esta ocasión Austria volvió a sumarse apoderándose de Lublin. Los rusos avanzaron hasta el Báltico e incorporaron Lituania. Los prusianos recrecieron la Prusia oriental y se hicieron con Varsovia, la capital de la mancomunidad. Tras ello Catalina la Grande de Rusia, Federico Guillermo II de Prusia y Francisco II de Austria sellaron el fin del Estado polaco poco antes de que diesen comienzo las guerras napoleónicas. Durante más de un siglo, hasta el final de la primera guerra mundial, Polonia desapareció del mapa europeo, no así los polacos, que siguieron viviendo en tres Estados diferentes. Polonia y Lituania reaparecerían tras el tratado de Versalles convertidas en repúblicas con unas nuevas fronteras, pero volverían a ser repartidas años más tarde, en 1939, entre la Alemania nazi y la Unión Soviética. Los polacos y lituanos de nuestro tiempo tienen muy presente las cuatro particiones de sus respectivos países, un fragmento de la historia de Europa que a menudo pasa desapercibido.

The Brainy Business | Understanding the Psychology of Why People Buy | Behavioral Economics

I love partitioning! It is such an under-discussed concept, which is why I decided to refresh this episode from 2019 for you here today. Partitioning is closely related to friction or sludge, but it isn't exactly the same. While an experience that has partitions may be creating friction/sludge, it isn't just about that. And, it isn't always about reducing it. Sometimes, adding a partition is really useful when you want someone to stop and think. I'll get into that more as we dig into the episode.  As you get ready to listen to the episode today, I encourage you to have some experiences in mind. Try and think of a time when you had a great experience with a company, where things were seamless and streamlined or it felt easy. And another where you were part-way through buying and then stopped or when you changed your mind on a project or whatever else. Try and think through what happened along the way and keep that in mind as you consider the idea of partitioning. Where were the unintended partitions and where did the lack of them make a difference?  Of course, look to your own experiences in your company as well. If you have a hard time closing deals or lose people partway through an application form keep that in mind too. It can all tie back to partitions. So let's dive in and learn how you can use partitions in your business to create a seamless experience for your customers.  Show Notes: [00:37] Today's episode is all about partitioning. I love partitioning! It is such an under-discussed concept. [02:39] Partitioning has shown us that when you put tiny barriers into place it causes a consumer to consider their options and be presented with a new decision point. This can be good or bad on both sides depending on the situation.  [04:33] Melina shares a study with bottomless soup bowls.  [06:34] Another study found that adding some sort of measurement reminder can help reduce consumption even if the cups are large. [08:45] One study found that once something became common it no longer acted as a partitioning mechanism.  [10:21] It isn't just effort that matters but drawing the attention of the conscious brain really matters too.  [12:56] It is so easy to be tricked by our brains.  [15:07] Those with a high aversion to gambling were significantly impacted by the partitions.   [16:24] Partitioning money has also been found to help people save more and spend less.  [17:26] Essential with shopping…once you start the process of spending you are more likely to spend again until you hit a partition.  [19:07] Any cognitive intervention (something that makes the user stop and think) can trigger partitioning. This can be done using sounds, rhetorical questions, targets, or progress markers.  [21:37] It doesn't have to feel bad or negative for the consumer.  [23:41] The cashier in an airport store bringing up the price of the almonds and forcing us to rethink our decision multiple times caused anticipated regret and lowered the total amount spent significantly.  [25:18] It is easy to talk people out of a sale, make them feel bad about a purchase, or start to regret it even when you are trying to be helpful.  [26:07] Setting up targets or progress markers, on the other hand, can be great partitions for a business to set up to keep on the radar of their current, past or potential customers.  [27:21] Removing partitions and obstacles can be great for businesses and customers alike.   [29:29] Partitions in the selling process are a recipe for getting ghosted. Always schedule circle-back meetings in the moment.  [32:03] Make it easy for people to do business with you. Remove unnecessary partitions in the process and everyone will be happier. [32:13] Melina's closing thoughts [32:42] The concept of partitioning can help you to look for opportunities to make it easier to work with you, especially up front. Partitions are particularly dangerous early on and in the selling process.  Thanks for listening. Don't forget to subscribe on Apple Podcasts or Android.

In this episode Host Arjun Singh joined by Herman Singh and Manvir Singh dive into the history of Punjabs' Partitions, Explains what the ' Punjabi Suba Movement' was, and touch on the idea of identifying as 'Punjabi'Clarifications:- There were two main divisions of Punjab—in 1947 and then in 1966, which solidified the current boundaries. However, parts of Himachal Pradesh were removed from the state of Punjab as early as 1957. In 1966, the rest of what is now Himachal Pradesh, as well as the entirety of Haryana, were separated from Punjab. - Punjab is one of the only, not the only, states in India that is majority non-Hindu. It is the only Sikh majority state. However, the states of Meghalaya, Nagaland and Mizoram in the far east are majority Christian. In addition, though classified as Union Territories rather than States, the islands of Lakshadweep in the south and Jammu and Kashmir in the north are majority Muslim. Ladakh in the north is mostly Buddhist and Muslim.

The three partitions of Poland in 1772, 1793 & 1795 ended the Polish Kingdom (or the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth), and divided it between Austria, Russia and Prussia. This had far reaching consequences for the largest Jewish community in the world which had resided within the borders of the kingdom.  Their new rulers desired a more central authority, and much of the Jewish autonomy was curtailed as a result. The Jewish communities of each empire found themselves under new political entities, new laws, new language and culture, and they now were on a different trajectory than their brethren who were on the other side of an international border. In the last years of the Polish Kingdom the Four Year Sejm took place between 1788-1792. The reforms which were raised in regards to Jews economic opportunity and political status, would echo through the Jewish communities of partitioned Poland throughout the upcoming 19th century.    For sponsorship opportunities about your favorite topics of Jewish history contact Yehuda at:  yehuda@yehudageberer.com   Subscribe To Our Podcast on:    PodBean: https://jsoundbites.podbean.com/   Follow us on Twitter or Instagram at @Jsoundbites You can email Yehuda at yehuda@yehudageberer.com
