Our Flagship Project
A collection of stories and material memory from the British Raj and beyond. This project tells the story of a nation fighting for its independence, of a nascent democracy coming of age, of how India became the country we know today. The Generation 1947 Project records and archives the personal stories of citizens who have witnessed life in pre-Independent India, as well as the subsequent formative nation-building years.
