ਜੁਗਨੂਨਾਮਾ ‘ਤੇ ਇੱਕ ਨਵੀਂ ਗੱਲਬਾਤ ਹੁਣ ਲਾਈਵ ਹੈ।

ਜੁਗਨੂ ਮੋਹਸਿਨ ਦੀ ਗੱਲਬਾਤ ਸੈਮ ਡਾਲਰਿੰਪਲ ਨਾਲ, ਉਹਨਾਂ ਦੀ ਕਿਤਾਬ *Shattered Lands: Five Partitions and the Making of Modern Asia* ‘ਤੇ — ਜਿੱਥੇ ਉਹ ਦੱਸਦੇ ਨੇ ਕਿ ਸਿਰਫ਼ 1947 ਹੀ ਨਹੀਂ, ਬਲਕਿ ਹੋਰ ਵੀ ਕਈ ਵੰਡਾਂ ਨੇ ਸਾਡੀ ਦੁਨੀਆ ਨੂੰ ਕਿਵੇਂ ਬਣਾਇਆ।

ਇਸ ਇੰਟਰਵਿਊ ਵਿੱਚ ਅਸੀਂ ਗੱਲ ਕਰਦੇ ਹਾਂ:
• “Five partitions” ਦਾ ਖ਼ਿਆਲ ਅਤੇ ਉਹਨਾਂ ਦਾ ਅਸਰ
• ਸਰਹੱਦਾਂ ਕਿਵੇਂ ਖਿੱਚੀਆਂ ਗਈਆਂ — ਤੇ ਉਹਨਾਂ ਨੇ ਕੀ ਕੁਝ ਤੋੜਿਆ
• ਇਨਸਾਨੀ ਕਹਾਣੀਆਂ ਅਤੇ ਦਰਦ ਜੋ ਇਤਿਹਾਸ ਦੇ ਪਿੱਛੇ ਲੁਕਿਆ ਰਹਿੰਦਾ ਹੈ
• ਤੇ ਅੱਜ ਵੀ ਇਹ ਸਭ ਸਾਡੇ ਹਾਲਾਤਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਕਿਵੇਂ ਪ੍ਰਭਾਵਿਤ ਕਰ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ

ਜੇ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਵੰਡ ਨੂੰ ਸਿਰਫ਼ ਕਿਤਾਬਾਂ ਤੱਕ ਸੀਮਿਤ ਨਹੀਂ ਰੱਖਣਾ ਚਾਹੁੰਦੇ, ਤਾਂ ਇਹ ਗੱਲਬਾਤ ਜ਼ਰੂਰ ਵੇਖੋ।

Jugnu Mohsin sits down with Sam Dalrymple to discuss his book Shattered Lands: Five Partitions and the Making of Modern Asia — a powerful look at how multiple partitions, not just 1947, shaped the region we live in today.


This interview goes beyond the familiar story.

We explore:
• The idea of “five partitions” across South and Central Asia
• How borders were drawn — and what they broke
• The human cost behind political decisions
• And why these histories still shape our present

If you’re interested in understanding Partition beyond textbooks, this is a conversation worth your time.

ਸਾਡੇ ਜੁਗਨੂਨਾਮਾ ਦੇ ਵੀਅਰਜ਼ ਦਾ ਦਿਲੋਂ ਧੰਨਵਾਦ ❤️
ਤੁਸੀਂ ਜਿਸ ਤਰ੍ਹਾਂ ਪਿਛਲੇ ਐਪੀਸੋਡਜ਼ ਨੂੰ ਪਸੰਦ ਕੀਤਾ, ਸ਼ੇਅਰ ਕੀਤਾ ਤੇ ਸਪੋਰਟ ਦਿੱਤੀ — ਉਹ ਸਾਡੇ ਲਈ ਬਹੁਤ ਵੱਡੀ ਗੱਲ ਹੈ।

ਹੁਣ ਇਕ ਨਵਾਂ ਐਪੀਸੋਡ ਆ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ… ਤੇ ਇਸ ਵਾਰ ਗੱਲ ਹੋਵੇਗੀ ਉਸ ਇਤਿਹਾਸ ਦੀ, ਜੋ ਅਕਸਰ ਸਾਨੂੰ ਪੂਰੀ ਤਰ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੱਸਿਆ ਹੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਜਾਂਦਾ।

ਇਸ ਐਪੀਸੋਡ ਵਿੱਚ Jugnu Mohsin ਗੱਲਬਾਤ ਕਰਨਗੇ ਹਿਸਟੋਰੀਅਨ Sam Dalrymple ਨਾਲ — ਜਿੱਥੇ ਅਸੀਂ ਪਾਰਟੀਸ਼ਨ, ਬ੍ਰਿਟਿਸ਼ ਰਾਜ, ਜਿਨ੍ਹਾਂ, ਕਸ਼ਮੀਰ ਤੇ ਉਹ ਫੈਸਲੇ ਚਰਚਾ ਕਰਾਂਗੇ ਜਿਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੇ ਅੱਜ ਦਾ ਸਾਊਥ ਏਸ਼ੀਆ ਬਣਾਇਆ।

ਕੀ ਪਾਰਟੀਸ਼ਨ ਵਾਕਈ ਲਾਜ਼ਮੀ ਸੀ?
ਕੀ ਕਸ਼ਮੀਰ ਦਾ ਮਸਲਾ ਵੱਖਰੇ ਤਰੀਕੇ ਨਾਲ ਹੱਲ ਹੋ ਸਕਦਾ ਸੀ?
ਤੇ ਕੀ ਅੱਜ ਵੀ ਅਮਨ ਮੁਮਕਿਨ ਹੈ?

ਇਹ ਉਹ ਗੱਲਾਂ ਨੇ ਜੋ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਹਰ ਥਾਂ ਨਹੀਂ ਸੁਣਦੇ।

ਸਟੇ ਟਿਊਨ ਰਹੋ… ਇਹ ਐਪੀਸੋਡ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਮਿਸ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਰਨਾ।
