India Divided

Více o knize

Focusing on the historical context of India's partition, the book critically analyzes the notion of Hindus and Muslims as two distinct nations. Written during imprisonment and published in 1946, it explores the roots of the Hindu-Muslim conflict and evaluates various partition proposals. The author argues for a secular state that respects cultural autonomy for diverse groups, while highlighting the impracticality of the proposed partition and suggesting an alternative resolution to the communal tensions.
