I bought this book because I wanted to learn the ABCs of India's partition. This book delivered. I give it only 4 stars because at times it appeared to provide redundant explanations where it should have instead thrown in more vignettes.

A Book Worth Reading & Keeping
One of the very few books that are a dispassionate and intelligent analysis of events around the 'HULCHUL' of Indian partition in 1947' Yasmin Khan has the advantage of being physically separated from events of 1947 partition. ( I think her family has lived in England for some generations) and this helped her write an analytical synopsis of the events that people like me ( I was born and raised in Indian Punjab) are looking for. It's hard to understand the mentality of people who encouraged and/or perpetrated the massacres of 1947 and ( to me those of 1984 too!) but a book like hers help us understand some dimensions of the outrage that this whole process of partition has been.
