Based on new source material available in both England and India,
India's Partition examines the partition in the context of the
retreat of the British Empire. The freeing of India from British
rule was the result of internal forces in both countries, while the
split of the subcontinent along religious lines served as a
harbinger for things to come. Panigrahi argues that partition was
not a foregone conclusion and was not the favoured option for most
of the main parties, but rather was the result of a unique set of
circumstances.
An erudite exploration of the highly complex relations between
India and Britain leading up to independence and the split, India's
Partition looks at the leaders who made far-reaching decisions -
and their motivations - during this critical time.
