Items related to The Great Divide: Britain, India, Pakistan
On 14 August 1947, a decisive step in the retreat of British imperialism occurred: the new nation of Pakistan was created out of the body of India, and Britain's century-long domination over the Indian sub-continent ended. This book examines the trauma and subsequent chequered history of political development, and leads the author to ask: was it inevitable? This is a gift edition published for the 50th anniversary of the founding of Pakistan.
