In 1940 the All-India Muslim League first voiced its demand for independent Muslim states in the north-west and north-east of India. Commonly known as the demand of Pakistan. It leads seven years later to the partition of India-in one of the most cataclysmic and violent events in recent history. In this book Dr. Ayesha Jalal examines what happened in those intervening years, identifying the factors which led to the creation of Pkaistan and providing new insights into the nature of the British transfer of power in India.
