Subjects / The Partition of India

Best books to learn The Partition of India, in order

Partition is often reduced to a single line on a map, so a good path builds up to that moment and then dwells in its human cost. Start with the end of the British Raj and the politics of independence, understand how and why the subcontinent was divided, and turn last to the memoirs and histories of the violence and mass migration, where the scale of the tragedy becomes real.
