THE PUNJAB BLOODIED PARTITIONED (REVISE EDITION)

‘[…] 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.
