The Breaking Up of India

Some of the most long-term effects of British colonization can be seen in India.  The book, The Partition of India by Ian Talbot and Gurharpal Singh, looks at the separation of India that occurred in 1941, as the British relocated many communities and created, among other things, what has become Pakistan.  The book tells of the events leading up to it, the effects it had, and the long term violence, political, and identity problems that have resulted from it.
