Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. One of the most articulate, well researched and readable books on the events and circumstances that led to the creation of this country. This book is so well researched and presented that it starts with the earliest muslim invasion of the Indian subcontinent by Muhammad Bin Qasim, the ummayad general, around 700 AD and chronicles this tale up until the Mutiny of 1857 and the collapse of the Mughal Empire that marked the beginning of this decline and the need for a separate state. It is also interesting to note that up until 1946, everyone including the Muslim League voted for a united India and it was the congress that vetoed this decision fearing the balkanization of the subcontinent. The book is very readable also because of the superior prose and writing style of the author. There have been so many books written about this subject but I wish I had read this one first. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
