The partition of India 1947 some call it vivisection as Gandhi had has without doubt been the most wounding trauma of the twentieth century It has seared the psyche of four plus generations of this subcontinent 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 Gopal Krishna Gokhale yet ended with his becoming the sole spokesman of Muslims in India the creator of Pakistan The Quaid e Azam How and why did this transformation take place No Indian or Pakistani politician Member of Parliament has ventured an analytical political biography of Quaid e Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah about whom views necessarily get divided as being either Hagiographical or additional demonology The book attempts an objective evaluation Jaswant Singh s experience as a minister responsible for the conduct of India s foreign policy managing the country s defence concurrently had been uniformly challenging Lahore Peace process betrayed at Kargil Kandahar the Agra Peace Summit the attack on Jammu and Kashmir Assembly and the Indian Parliament coercive diplomacy of 2002 the peace overtures reinitiated in April 2003 He asks where and when did this questionable thesis of Muslims as a separate nation first originate and lead the Indian sub continent to And where did it drag Pakistan to Why then a Bangladesh Also what now of Pakistan Where is it headed This book is special it stands apart for it is authored by a practitioner of policy an innovator of policies in search of definitive answers Those burning whys of the last sixty two years which bedevil us still Jaswant Singh believes that for the return of lasting peace in South Asia there is no alternative but to first understand what made it abandon us in the first place Until we do that a minimum a must we will never be able to persuade peace to return
