The Centre for Social Sciences and Humanities (CSH) is delighted to invite you to the screening of some key moments from the film Khamosh Pani, followed by a conversation with Prof. Sukrita Paul Kumar and Anandana Kapur

The CSH is please to carry on its visual evenings series on Feminism and the building of a nation with a discussion on "KhamoshPani" along with a screening of some key moments from the film starring Kirron Kher and Aamir Malik.

The Indian subcontinent was divided into India and Pakistan when the two countries got Independence from the British rule in 1947. The Subcontinent witnessed the migration of millions of people across newly drawn borders. The violence that was unleashed between communities was on a scale unseen before. Women of all communities suffered violence in its most brutal forms – abduction, rape, kidnappings, forced marriages, “honour” killings. The trauma of partition rendered many silent and voiceless. Literature and Cinema became testaments to the lived realities of those who had experienced partition - sometimes challenging state narratives and other times providing catharsis. The idea of the emergence of the nation and what it does to the displaced subject will be discussed through Sabiha Sumar's 2003 film "Khamosh Pani” (Silent Waters).

Prof. dr. Sukrita Paul Kumar was born in Kenya and is a poet and critic who currently holds the Aruna Asaf Ali Chair at Delhi University. Formerly, a Fellow of the Indian Institute of Advanced study, Shimla, she was an invited poet and also is an Honorary Fellow of the International Writing Programme, university of Iowa (USA), as also of Hong Kong Baptist University.

Her edited/co-edited books include Speaking for herself: Asian Women’s Writing (Penguin) and Ismat: Her life, Her Times.A known translator and an artist, she has also been a guest editor of some important journals such as Manoa of the University of Hawaii.
