We seem to be increasingly at odds about which stories are central to who we are. The 70-year anniversary of the partition of India and Pakistan led to calls for a more comprehensive teaching of the history of the British Empire in schools. Social historian and author of Joining Dots, Juliet Gardiner, and author of Sugar in the Blood: A Family's Story of Slavery and Empire, Andrea Stuart, discuss the different narratives that history recounts and how people connect with them.
