Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Exploring the socio-political landscape leading to the 1947 fragmentation of Bengal and Assam, this book examines the roles of the Muslim League, Congress, and British colonial powers in the partition process. It challenges the notion that Hindu communalists were solely responsible, highlighting the competition between Hindus and Muslims for power and privileges post-independence. The narrative delves into the deep-rooted socio-economic divides that predated political separation, suggesting that partition was an inevitable outcome of these complex dynamics.
