Pritika Chowdhry's series of Counter- Monuments Recall The 1947 Partition of India A socio-political, feminist artist, Chicago's Pritika Chowdhry creates art installations that serve as anti-memorials to traumatic geopolitical events. Her new project, Partition and the Radcliffe Line, depicts the brutal Partition of India in 1947 imposed by British decree. It is on exhibit at the South Asia Institute in Chicago. August 15, 2022 marks the 75th anniversary of the Partition.

The formalized division that placed India in-between East and West Pakistan intensified distrust between religious groups, leading to chaos and several Indo-Pak wars.
