Dr. Khan Touseef Osman delivered special lecture on 22 November, 2019 at Netaji Subhash Open University, titled  "Trauma Studies, Remembrance/Amnesia and the Partition," organized under "Partition Repository Project". As the title suggests, he explored the theories of trauma developed in the West and demonstrated how they fail to explicate an event like the Partition of Bengal. He stressed the necessity for theorization of trauma, memory and amnesia through local or native ideas. In conclusion, he spoke about the future directions the scholarship of Bengal partition could take.
