BEYOND THE PARTITION: HOW LAHORE SHAPES AZADARI IN THE DIASPORA   Although the Partition of India and Pakistan is often seen to have created a boundary between the two  Although the Partition of India and Pakistan is often seen to have created a boundary between the two countries, Azadari rituals have created bridges for sharing and exchange. From the cross-border sharing of eulogies and mourning patterns to the movement of clerics and recitors, Azadari has built a bond between the two countries. In this session, we explore these bonds and examine the impact this has had on relations between the two countries and how that shapes Azadari in diaspora communities.  Keynote: Sadia Uddin, Ph.D Candidate, York University   Sadia Uddin is a Ph.D. candidate in the Humanities programme at York University.
