Le 15 ao�t 1947 les Indes britanniques ont cess� d'exister. L'Indian Independence Bill, vot�e par le Parlement britannique, entre alors en vigueur. Mais au prix d'un terrible sacrifice: la Partition des Indes entre, d'une part, l'Inde hindoue de Jawaharlal Nehru, qui compte alors 300 millions d'habitants et, d'autre part, le Pakistan musulman de Muhammad Ali Jinnah, peupl� de 100 millions d'habitants. Ce dernier est lui-m�me �clat� en deux entit�s g�ographiques situ�es de part et d'autre de l'Inde: le Pakistan occidental et le Pakistan oriental, qui deviendra le Bangladesh en 1971 � l'issue de la troisi�me guerre indo-pakistanaise. Et d�s le 21 ao�t 1947, les massacres commencent au Punjab. C'est le Cachemire, musulman � 80 % mais dirig� par un maharajah hindou, qui focalise depuis maintenant presque 80 ans la rivalit� entre les deux �tats. Ce s�isme a donn� lieu � une litt�rature foisonnante, dont voici une illustration originale, recueil de 19 po�mes et 13 nouvelles �crits sur une longue p�riode et rassembl�s en un seul volume. Gulzar, qui �crit principalement en ourdou et en hindi, ne traite pas la Partition de 1947 comme un simple �v�nement historique fig� dans le pass�, mais comme un processus toujours en cours, un traumatisme persistant. Tour � tour po�tiques, nostalgiques, innocents, ironiques ou sombres, ces textes explorent les traces laiss�es par cette trag�die - tant sur le plan politique que personnel, �motionnel et psychologique. _____ Gulzar est un po�te, parolier, r�alisateur, sc�nariste, producteur et dramaturge indien, n� le 18 ao�t 1936 � Dina (alors en Inde britannique, aujourd'hui au Pakistan). Bien que ma�trisant de nombreuses langues indiennes, il �crit essentiellement en hindi et en ourdou. Tr�s connu en Inde, il est l'auteur en particulier de nombreuse chansons de films, dont celles de Slumdog Millionaire, qui lui ont valu l'Oscar de la meilleure chanson originale en 2009. Il est r�cipiendaire en 2004 du Padma Bhushan, troisi�me plus h
