When India and Pakistan became two separate countries, it reshaped world history. Now an Austin podcaster NehaAziz13 is telling the personal stories behind that severing.
Imagine waking up and being told that you, your friends, your family, have a month to pack up and move across the country. Not just that, but when you get to whatever destination you're assigned, you'll be a citizen of a new nation, and the border will close behind you forever.
However, the questioning was not accusatory. She called the process, and the podcast it would become,"atonement, in a way. I never really looked into my culture in my adolescence, and my grandparents on my dad's side lived with us in Texas for a few years. I didn't know about partition, but I didn't ask them what their lives were like." She quickly realized that, seven decades after partition, the window to talk to people who lived through it was closing.
It was a story that continued to fascinate Aziz, even if she wasn't quite sure how to tell it. At a loose end during the pandemic, she pitched the project to I Heart Media through their NextUp Initiative for underrepresented voices and was accepted into it"right before my 31st birthday." She called the program"a little bit of a bootcamp, a six-month fellowship [where] they would teach you the ropes of podcasting.
