This post features a rich four-hour oral history interview with Saaz Aggarwal, recorded as Episode 308 of Amit Varma's podcast The Seen and the Unseen on 19 December 2022. In the conversation she traces her life, her writing, and the enduring importance of Sindh in her imagination and work. The discussion spans personal memory, cultural inheritance, literary labour, the experience of displacement and revival — and helps us understand how one “vanished homeland” can remain a persistent source of identity, exploration and creative energy.
I found the interview highly engaging — it moves across many terrain: family history, Partition’s legacies, the role of the Sindhi diaspora, the process of publishing, and the forging of community in unexpected places. For those interested in Sindhi heritage, Partition studies, and literary memoir, it offers deep insight and many resonant moments.
