Jinnah India- Partition Independence
A well documented book which criticized and define India-pak partition from a different view.He likes to wash the blood-shed shirt of Jinnah.Why did this partition take place at all? Who was/is responsible — Jinnah? The Congress party? Or the British? Jaswant Singh attempts to find an answer, his answer, for there can perhaps not be a definitive answer, yet the author searches. Jinnah’s political journey began as ‘an ambassador of Hindu-Muslim Unity‘ , yet ended with his becoming the ’sole spokesman’ of Muslims in India.
But personally I feel sorry about his book and his prejudice about his hard hitting on secularism.He changed the pole positions of Jinaah and Nehru(Congress party) and I found myself criticizing him for bending the history towards his pole that is Jinaah.But book is a good read and knee jerk reaction from all the political parties were sad and pathetic.
Try this book if India-Pak and Jinaah as a character ever fantasies you.
