Abstract

In The Great Partition: The Making of India and Pakistan Yasmin Khan recalls the partition of the Indian subcontinent into two nation states in 1947. She narrates the story of partition from the painful experiences of traumatised common people during the migration either to Pakistan or India, and argues that both these countries are built on ‘messy and turbulent foundations’(p. 10).
