Published in 1948, just a year after the partition of India, H.V. Hodson's Pakistan or the Partition of India is a remarkable work of scholarship that has stood the test of time. Hodson, a British journalist and historian who had spent many years in India, provides a comprehensive and insightful examination of the events leading up to and following the partition.
The book begins with a brief history of India under British rule. Hodson then discusses the rise of the Indian nationalist movement and the growing tensions between Hindus and Muslims. He examines the role of the British government in the partition process and the impact of the partition on the people of India.
Hodson's writing is clear and concise, and he provides a nuanced analysis of the complex events that led to the partition. He does not shy away from difficult topics, such as the violence that accompanied the partition and the displacement of millions of people. However, he also provides a hopeful message, arguing that the partition could be a catalyst for peace and reconciliation between India and Pakistan.
Pakistan or the Partition of India is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of India and Pakistan. It is a valuable resource for students, scholars, and general readers alike.
