The essay reconstructs the end of British rule in India and the birth of India and Pakistan between 1947 and 1948. It follows real figures such as Gandhi, Nehru, Jinnah and Mountbatten, and shows how the partition of the subcontinent caused mass displacements, violence and a human tragedy that marked the end of the empire.
