Presents a fresh perspective on Partition - the birth of two nation states - India and Pakistan, and the end of the colonial period in India. This title studies the trauma experienced by survivors of Partition - the British who were forced to leave India, and the educated Indians, for whom this moment marked a rite of passage.
