The Great Partition by Yasmin Khan
The partition of India in 1947 promised its people both political and religious freedom. This book examines the context, execution and aftermath of partition, integrating an incisive knowledge of political manoeuvres with an understanding of their fundamental social and cultural consequences.
'This is a compassionate, scholarly but at times devastating book.. for professional and amateur students of history, and for all those who wish to understand attitudes on the subcontinent today.' Judith Brown, Beit Professor of Commonwealth History, Oxford University
Yasmin Khan is Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Royal Holloway, University of London.
