Sudha Murty highlights Partition's impact in new book

Sudha Murty, a famous author, talked about India's Partition in her new book, The Magic of the Lost Earrings.

She shared this story at the Jaipur Literature Festival.

She wants children to know that Partition was a big mistake and should never happen again.

Many people lost their homes, families, and even their languages during this time.

She told the story to her granddaughter, Anoushka Sunak, to help her understand the hardships their family faced.

Murty also talked about how some communities, like the Sindhis, lost their land and culture forever.

She hopes that by learning about this history, children will appreciate the struggles of the past and work for a better future.
