The Partition of India (2 Vols-Set)

With the British Rule coming to a close, India became Independent in 1947. Along with becoming free India was partitioned with Muslim majority areas becoming Pakistan and Hindu majority areas becoming India or Hindustan.

With Calcutta and other parts of Bengal becoming drenched in blood after Muslim League launched 'Direct Action' for demanding Pakistan in 1946, it seems Partition became inevitable. Though Mahatma Gandhi and Congress Leaders, who led the freedom struggle were opposed to partition till the end, at the last hour, for smooth and immediate transfer of power, agreed for partition.

Jinnah’s observations that the 2nd World War (1939-45) proved to be a blessing in disguise, tells in a way that the various changes that came in the Indian political scene after the beginning of the 2nd world war paved the way for the emergence of Pakistan.
