Named One Of The Best Books Of 2015 By Npr, Amazon, Seattle Times, And Shelf Awarenessa Few Bloody Months In South Asia During The Summer Of 1947 Explain The World That Troubles Us Today.Nobody Expected The Liberation Of India And Birth Of Pakistan To Be So Bloody It Was Supposed To Be An Answer To The Dreams Of Muslims And Hindus Who Had Been Ruled By The British For Centuries. Jawaharlal Nehru, Gandhis Protg And The Political Leader Of India, Believed Indians Were An Inherently Nonviolent, Peaceful People. Pakistans Founder, Mohammad Ali Jinnah, Was A Secular Lawyer, Not A Firebrand. But In August 1946, Exactly A Year Before Independence, Calcutta Erupted In Streetgang Fighting. A Cycle Of Riots Targeting Hindus, Then Muslims, Then Sikhs Spiraled Out Of Control. As The Summer Of 1947 Approached, All Three Groups Were Heavily Armed And On Edge, And The British Rushed To Leave. Hell Let Loose. Trains Carried Muslims West And Hindus East To Their Slaughter. Some Of The Most Brutal And Widespread Ethnic Cleansing In Modern History Erupted On Both Sides Of The New Border, Searing A Divide Between India And Pakistan That Remains A Root Cause Of Many Evils.
