Harleen Singh is a writer and researcher focusing on the social and literary history of colonial Punjab and the North West Frontier Province (now Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in Pakistan).

 

Born and raised in Delhi, Harleen’s interest in history was sparked by the Partition experiences of his grandparents, whose stories he heard growing up. These personal histories sparked his interest in oral history as a means of preserving these narratives.

 

In 2014, Harleen began documenting the stories of Partition survivors, which led to the creation of The Lost Heer Project in 2018, dedicated to uncovering the largely forgotten narratives of women in colonial Punjab.
