25th January'2017
We had a discussion with Ms Samina. She has written a book about a girl and her family who went through partition and some side stories. We asked her questions not only about the book but her thoughts on various aspects like borderless world, government, etc. This session truly helped me open up to new point of views on borders and why political border have formed and different borders as well.
--------------------------NOTES--------------------------
- any decisions by the government should not affect her life and she should have the right as a citizen she should make her own decisions
- Hina is now 27 and has 2 kids and Ms Samina often keeps in touch with her
- She chose Hina out of other schools because she had something different about her
- Hina's grandmother said that the there were red lakes because of blood everywhere
- People were going in and out of Pakistan and India and were still replacing a while after the partition. Some people were recruited or transferred to some other family in the same country.
- The border wasn't strong at first so people managed to get over there. It was just an environmental border at the time not a political one.
- she started this project to make a short movie
- she was curious of this subject and thought Purani Dilli was the best place to go explore because it is somewhat infamous
- when places merge, thats when the conflict happens
- political border is one kind of border, there are border within people
