In the run-up to the partition and independence of India in the middle of August 1947, large parts of what was then North India were engulfed in sectarian riots and clashes. This resulted in mass migrations across the borders of the two newly created British dominions.In the midst of it all are ordinary families, who must survive any way they can. Losing their belongings, their homes, even their family members - everything that they have worked for or held dear - they must nevertheless find a way forward and never give in.Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Punjab and Kashmir, No Man's Woman tells the story of many such individuals, people in close-knit families whose stories often intertwine. They give each other strength and support, share each other's sorrow and joy, and hold on to the hope of a new India.
