This dissertation is an interdisciplinary study into unheard narratives of the 1947 Partition of India as they inform legacies of trauma, violence, and displacement for South Asian diasporic communities. In exploring the limitations of official state accounts of Partition, I turn to alternative epistemological sites in archives of the personal, in my own familial story of Partition, as a point of analysis. These sites take up the form of what I call "affective objects": sites, things, heirlooms, and artefacts that, because they are intimately linked to familial and community histories, are laden with in-articulatable feelings. I argue that affective objects can be space- and knowledge-making for unheard intergenerational narratives of displacement as they ruminate in realms of undefinition and nonverbal modes of communication. The familial stories about Partition that are produced from these affective spaces, which are not dependent on state- sanctioned narratives, are reparative in how they allow South Asian diasporic communities to work through inherited intergenerational traumas of Partition. I bring together affective theories, object studies, and colonial and postcolonial histories of India to uncover a method to speak about the unspeakable-to explore how nonverbal meaning, through the form of physical objects, comes through the work of affect. My methodology in this project is storytelling. That is, I take my own familial stories of Partition that have been attached to various affective objects as analysis. This is a move away from discourses that have been constructed by the colonial powers that incited trauma and violence on communities affected by Partition. I question the denial in contemporary colonial systems' romanticized readings of the past and diminished understandings of current social realities of oppression, which render the victims of these histories silent. I include the personal in this conversation not only to connect and position myself within the narrative of Partition but also to make sense of larger socio-historical colonial processes that continue to unfold from and about Partition. The turn towards the affective object, archives of the personal, and the sharing of familial stories creates spaces of possibility and potential for knowing Partition and its legacies of violence differently.
