A reappraisal of the tumultuous Partition and how it ignited long-standing animosities between India and Pakistan This new edition of Yasmin Khan’s reappraisal of the tumultuous India-Pakistan Partition features an introduction reflecting on the latest research and on ways in which commemoration of the Partition has changed, and considers the Partition in light of the current refugee crisis. Reviews of the first edition: “A riveting book on this terrible story.”—Economist “Unsparing. . . . Provocative and painful.”—Times (London) “Many histories of Partition focus solely on the elite policy makers. Yasmin Khan’s empathetic account gives a great insight into the hopes, dreams, and fears of the millions affected by it.”—Owen Bennett Jones, BBC

In India Divided, environmental, human rights, and antiglobalization activist Vandana Shiva chronicles the internal battles of a nation that is both the world's largest democracy and a leading nuclear power. Shiva describes a society where traditional cultures collide with the new economy of globalization, and charts the course of India's war of fundamentalisms in the age of terror. From the IT centers of Bangalore to the villages of Uttar Pradesh, from the massacre at Gujarat and the popular emergence of Hindutva's narrow communalism to the decades-old battle for Kashmir, India Divided reveals a convergence of globalization and terrorism. Looking to the plights of India's Dalit communities and millions of poor subsistence farmers impoverished or displaced by biotechnology, seed patents, and the spate of mega-dam projects, Shiva argues that these silent killers form a local terror unmatched in devastation. In India Divided Shiva addresses India’s most urgent threats with gravity and hope.

The partition of India and the agonies associated with it are still alive in the memory of millions of people. Although the India-Pakistan Partition took place nearly seven decades ago, it is still a lingering reality. It is the indifferent attitude of leaders both from the Congress and the Muslim League that resulted in bifurcating the country. This is well made out from the writings of the leaders of the time. This indifference continued even after 1947. Kashmir got divided and it became a perpetual bone of contention. Sending terrorists across the border is Pakistan's spasmodic habit. Training Indian extremists in violence is its dedicated, continual process. The author affirms that many an unpleasant development would have been avoided had the leaders understood the issues properly and mobilized support from the Indian populace. But the leadership was cynical and failed in understanding the gravity of the situation. Personal interests and egos ruled the roost. However, a few lay Indians know how the partition took place. What was the need for it? Who played the spoilsport in creating Pakistan? This volume, for the better understanding of the readers, reproduces the views of Jinnah, Gandhi, Ambedkar, Rajendra Prasad and G.D. Khosla in this context. This book is a sincere attempt to portray the actual developments that had taken place associated with the Independence of the country and a few afterward results. The Indian government under Nehru failed in resolving many an issue, paving the way for numerous post-Independent challenges that are still continuing. Thus, this book should be an eye opener for the readers, unfurling their mind, grasping the reality in its absolute sense.
