The partition of India in 1947 was a seminal event of the twentieth
century. Much has been written about the Punjab and the creation of
West Pakistan; by contrast, little is known about the partition of
Bengal. This remarkable book by an acknowledged expert on the
subject assesses the social, economic and political consequences of
partition. Using compelling sources, the book, which was originally
published in 2007, shows how and why the borders were redrawn, how
the creation of new nation states led to unprecedented upheavals,
massive shifts in population and wholly unexpected transformations
of the political landscape in both Bengal and India. The book also
reveals how the spoils of partition, which the Congress in Bengal
had expected from the new boundaries, were squandered over the
twenty years which followed. This is an intriguing and challenging
work whose findings change our understanding and its consequences
for the history of the subcontinent.
