In den WarenkorbPaperback. Zustand: Very Good. THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER Stands out for its judicious and unsparing look at events from a British perspective Dominic Sandbrook, Sunday TimesBetween January and August 1947 the conflicting political, religious and social tensions in India culminated in independence from Britain and the creation of Pakistan;in Partition, Barney White-Spunner shines a light on those turbulent months. This period saw the end of ninety years of the British Raj, and the effective power of the Maharajahs, as the Congress Party established itself, commanding a democratic government in Delhi. It also witnessed the rushed creation of Pakistan as a country in two halves whose capitals were 2000 kilometres apart. From September to December 1947 the euphoria surrounding independence dissipated into shame and incrimination; nearly onemillion people died and countless more lost their homes and their livelihoods as partition was realised. The events of those months would dictate the history of South Asia for the next seventy years, leading to three wars, countless acts of terrorism, polarisation around the Cold War powers and to two nations with millions living in poverty spending disproportionate amounts on their military. The legacy of decisions taken that year still continues. Those at the centre becamesome of the most enduring characters of the twentieth century. Gandhi and Nehru enjoyed almost saint-like status in India, and still do, whileJinnah is lionised in Pakistan. The British cast, from Churchill to Attlee and Mountbatten, find their contribution praised and damned in equal measure. Yet it is not only the national players whose stories fascinate. Many ordinary people who witnessed the events of that year are still aliveand have a clear recollection of the excitement and the horror. Illustrating the story of 1947 with their experiences, Partition bringsthis terrible era for the Indian subcontinent vividly to life. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

In den WarenkorbBuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This is the story of the women from the Indian Subcontinent who fought against British imperial power from the 1600s until the independence of India and Pakistan in 1947. It begins by looking at the Partition of India, and the unique impact this had on women who - in addition to the displacement and violence which affected millions of South Asians, suffered uniquely through a campaign of rape, abduction, and forced suicides which left a lasting impact on the souls of women from every community. It then seeks to shine a light on the often-forgotten story of these women - who were not just passive victims of British, and later, communal violence, but who fought alongside (or sometimes at the head of) their male counterparts to secure the fall of the British Raj and the independence of their own nation. The stories of up to forty women, are examined, from various religious and racial communities across South Asia who advocated for Indian Independence and should be remembered and celebrated as influential freedom fighters in the same way that their male contemporaries have been. The book concludes by briefly examining the role of women in Indian nationalist movements today, and how this can be traced to the precedent set by their ancestors during the colonial era.

The focus of the present volume is on the major political developments since independence. The eighth volume has two parts (1). Historical Perspectives. (2). Compatriots leaders of the movement for freedom and cultural emancipation. The historical perspectives serves as a prelude to contemporary politics. It identifies the various stages and movements through which the nation passed before achieving independence. The socio religious structure and the manifold institutions and practices established during the colonial period have largely determined the nature of national evolution. It has not been possible to break off with the past completely. It has been a continuous march slow but steady. The eighth volume starts with the constitutional and national development from separatism to separation and moves through religious and social environment vis a vis administrative setup which has constantly grown to accommodate itself to the changing circumstances. India is today facing numerous problems. There is a strong case for reviewing the whole system. 294 pp.
