Soft cover. Zustand: New. In sheer magnitude, the Partition was the most cataclysmic event in the history of Delhi. It witnessed the arrival of half a million Hindu and Sikh refugees in the city and the flight of 350,000 Muslims from it. It was thus a period not only of displacement but also of resettlement, one that requires closer analysis if we are to understand the current challenges that face India's capital. Rotem Geva sees decolonization as a process that unfolded from the late 1930s into the mid-1950s, and looks carefully at the structural changes that impacted the politics of both the Muslim League and the Congress. Why is it, she asks, that the demand for Pakistan took root in Delhi when its strongest advocates would ultimately find themselves outside its borders? Why did a relatively peaceful city in previous decades, a centre of Muslim life, erupt in violence in 1947, and that too on such a massive scale? How did the ethnic cleansing that happened reshape the city? And what does the official response to the law-and-order crisis reveal about the architects of independent India and their visions for the new nation? Delhi Reborn chronicles how a nebulous conceptPakistanbecame concrete in the imagination and practice of the city's residents in the 1930s and 40s.It also describes the struggle, after Independence, between the urge to democratize political life in the new republic and the authoritarian legacy of colonial rule. A significant contribution to the discourse on India's horrific partition, this book is also a brilliant examination of the kind of city, and nation, it left behind.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Delhi, one of the world's largest cities, has faced momentous challenges--mass migration, competing governing authorities, controversies over citizenship, and communal violence. To understand the contemporary plight of India's capital city, this book revisits one of the most dramatic episodes in its history, telling the story of how the city was remade by the twin events of partition and independence. Treating decolonization as a process that unfolded from the late 1930s into the mid-1950, Rotem Geva traces how India and Pakistan became increasingly territorialized in the imagination and practice of the city's residents, how violence and displacement were central to this process, and how tensions over belonging and citizenship lingered in the city and the nation. She also chronicles the struggle, after 1947, between the urge to democratize political life in the new republic and the authoritarian legacy of colonial rule, augmented by the imperative to maintain law and order in the face of the partition crisis. Drawing on a wide range of sources, Geva reveals the period from the late 1930s to the mid-1950s as a twilight time, combining features of imperial framework and independent republic. Geva places this liminality within the broader global context of the dissolution of multiethnic and multireligious empires into nation-states and argues for an understanding of state formation as a contest between various lines of power, charting the links between different levels of political struggle and mobilization during the churning early years of independence in Delhi'--.
