India’s partition, that came in the wake of Independence from British rule, is a story of unprecedented anarchy, forced migration of millions of families, barbaric communal violence, death and destruction. This volume seeks to revisit the past and refresh our memory through rare photographs, illustrations and detailed notes. Even as it underlines the point that the past can be an eye-opener it also emphasises on the resolve to move forward. Being brought out in the 75th year of India’s Independence the volume would be interest to both the common reader and subject specialist.
