Synopsis Extensive and scholarly research have been conducted by renowned authorities from India and abroad on the subject of Partition of India. The event still remains a paradox. Partition of India was successfully manoeuvred and materialised by Mountbatten while perpetuating the butchery of hundred and thousands of Indians on both sides. Was Jinnah, who accepted the Partition of "Moth Eaten Pakistan" only after Churchill's note to him, a creation of British Imperial designs? Who was responsible for partition? How was it carried out? Could the bloodshed be avoided? Could the problem of exchange of population not be settled amicably? Above all, why the partition? These and similar questions have been argued and debated in a number of seminars, workshops and conferences. Yet we are nowhere near the truth on this subject of vital importance and the confusion has been worst confounded. The aim of compilation of this series of volumes is: (a) The selection of innovative and important material on the subject; (b) To highlight the new sources brought to light by the scholars; (c) To present new trends in research on the subject; with the object to (i) provoke further research on the subject, and (ii) enable our readers to formulate their own opinion on this subject of great importance. As history is written not as an essay to win the applause of the moment, but as a passion for all time.
