SUMMARY:Author Visit: David Mould
DESCRIPTION:1947 - the year of conflict: in the Indian sub-continent\, 
 almost two centuries of British rule was ending with the creation of 
 Hindu-majority India and Muslim-majority Pakistan\, its two parts fatally 
 separated by geography\, language and culture.  During partition\, more 
 than 12 million people fled their homes\, and hundreds of thousands were 
 killed in communal violence. In Indonesia\, nationalist militias were 
 battling the Dutch\, who were trying to reclaim their largest and richest 
 colony after the end of Japanese occupation in World War II.  In 
 Madagascar\, the French were brutally suppressing an independence movement 
 that threatened commercial interests\, including plantations and mines. 
 Historian David Mould\, author of Monsoon Postcards: Indian Ocean Journeys 
 (Ohio University Press\, 2019)\, traces key events of 1947\, telling the 
 stories of some who played large and small parts in this year of conflict 
 and social change.
