Independence

What made the partition of India a reality? Should we blame the obduracy of Nehru and Jinnah? Or was it an inevitable outcome of the imperial policy of ‘Divide and Rule’? Did it flow from the politicisation of our religious identities? Are the British, with their post war haste, weakness and incompetence, accountable for it? This book attempts to answer all these questions from a new perspective and points at a ‘hidden imperialist agenda’ that borders on a larger conspiracy behind the bloody ‘surgical strikes’ of 1947 than it is known till today.
