Publishing for the 75th anniversary of the Partition of India in
August 2022, this book is a unique exploration of the rich and
complicated history of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Britain.
There are many ways of telling the same story, and how you tell it
depends on your point of view. Some stories are so complicated, or
difficult to explain, that they're not often told at all. Like the
story of how a company ended up running a country, or how one man
drawing a line on a map could change the lives of millions of
people forever. This book aims to piece together the interesting,
surprising, and sometimes very sad story of India, Pakistan,
Bangladesh, and Britain, and how these countries have shaped one
another over the centuries. From exploring the vast empires and
amazing inventions of ancient India, to revealing the challenges
faced by South Asian migrants to Britain - or celebrating the
amazing culture, innovations, inventions, and achievements of
British people of South Asian heritage today - this book shows how
the past, present and future of these four countries will always be
intertwined. Written by Donna and Vikesh Amey Bhatt who were
inspired to write this book for their two young sons, with
consultancy by Rajbir Hazelwood, historian of South Asia and Modern
Britain, Lands of Belonging includes an exploration of the impact
of British rule over India (India, Pakistan and Bangladesh were all
one country at the time), from the foundation of the East India
Company to India's involvement in supporting Britain during both
World Wars, to India's fight for independence and the British
government's decision to Partition the country, resulting in the
largest migration of people in history.
