Description and Table of Contents

Description

A comparative perspective of the two Muslim majority areas of the subcontinent most affected by the turmoil which followed the British decision to divide and quit in 1947. The text presents insights into both the mechanisms of boundary drawing and the consequences for the millions of ordinary people caught up in the massacres and migrations.
