About the Book:

This book delves into the separatist movement in India that culminated in the partition. The author traces the roots of Muslim separatism to Sheikh Sirhind (16th-17th century), its nourishment by Walliullah (18th century), and its perpetuation through madrassas.

The partition of India, hastily executed under Lord Mountbatten's leadership, is portrayed as a tragic event of unimaginable proportions. The book offers fresh insights and presents new points previously unrecorded, while also debunking several myths surrounding the partition.

Through vivid depictions of prominent leaders like Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, Vallabhbhai Patel, Mahatma Gandhi, Mountbatten, Jinnah, and others, their roles are critically reassessed. The narrative begins with the post-partition struggles of the government addressing issues like refugees and their rehabilitation and includes maps of undivided and partitioned India.
