JINNAH INDIA-PARTITION INDEPENDENCE (PB)

India’s partition can be
classified as one of the most scarring events of the twentieth century. It
has deeply affected the psyche of more than four generations in the nation.
Jinnah: India – Partition Independence talks about the possible reasons for
the partition, though a single and definite answer ceases to exist. The
author, Jaswant Singh, starts off by talking about Jinnah’s political
journey. Jinnah was a strong proponent of unity among Hindus and Muslims but
eventually he was the sole voice of the Muslim community in the country.
Jinnah is regarded as Pakistan’s creator and Singh tries to explain the
reason behind such a transformation. No Pakistani or Indian politician or
member of parliament has tried to present a political and analytical biography
of Jinnah. The author questions the origin of the idea of Muslims as a
separate nation and talks about where it has led India. It then talks about
the future of both nations. Jinnah: India – Partition Independence is a
special piece of literature that is written by an innovator and practitioner
of policy, in search of truth. Singh concludes by telling readers that for
lasting peace to return, in southern Asia, it is vital for people to
comprehend the reason for its sudden abandonment. Through the course of his
book, he also examines the possible roles played by the Congress party and
the British, in the partition. This edition of Jinnah: India – Partition
Independence was published by Rupa and Co., in 2009.
