Why "Divers and Sundry"?
Because this blog does not consist of a single focus topic I chose the name Divers and Sundry where "Divers" means being of many and various kinds, and "Sundry" means consisting of a haphazard assortment of different kinds.

...this one missed my radar screen!
ReplyDeleteMine, too, but I've come to love watching Indian film.
DeleteSomething to watch to better understand history especially history I was never taught.
ReplyDeleteI usually learned about Indian partition in reading about Gandhi.
DeleteIt's ironic that I just finished watching a series offered on PBS about a former British soldier in the East India Company, who sided with India against the company. Seems India is on the forefront of several films today. I'm eager to watch this one to see how different it is to the mid to late 18th Century when the East India Company tried to control India.
ReplyDeleteThe Partition was a hard time for India.
DeleteThis looks good, I will try to watch it. Thanks, Valerie
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy it :)
DeleteThis sounds really fascinating seeing they are still dealing with the partition. I hd an Indian student a few years back who was big into sports and when India played Pakistan some deep hatred came out. It was a little bit scary. I'm not saying he was what all Indian students thought, but it said something to me about the Partition. Happy Friday. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteIt was a violent time, and emotions ran deep.
