’[...] The great many in Pakistan and India who wish to preserve a society where freedoms are mutually respected should [...] be all the more thankful for Ishtiaq Ahmed’s landmark study.’ -Rajmohan Gandhi in IIC Quarterly
A path-breaking account of Partition, The Punjab chronicles how East and West Punjab were emptied of unwanted minorities in 1947. This volume accesses secret British reports to shed new light on events and narrates poignant accounts by eyewitnesses, survivors-even participants-of the carnage from both sides of the border. These exclusive narratives present the events of Partition through the eyes of those who were a part of it and the effect it had-and still has-on their lives.
One of the most comprehensive accounts of a tragic watershed of Indian history, The Punjab authoritatively demonstrates how little religious differences matter to peaceful coexistence, until inflamed by divisive forces.
