Diwali Sale Pakistan or The Partition of India | Dr. B.R. Ambedkar | Divided Nations 1947 |

Pakistan or The Partition of India

By Dr. B.R. Ambedkar

In this profound and insightful work, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, one of India’s foremost social reformers, jurists, and architects of the Indian Constitution, examines one of the most pivotal events in South Asian history – the Partition of India in 1947. Drawing on his unparalleled knowledge of history, politics, and sociology, Ambedkar offers a critical analysis of the partition and its impact on the future of the Indian subcontinent.

Ambedkar’s argument against the creation of Pakistan is rooted in his deep understanding of religious, social, and political dynamics. He critically assesses the idea of a separate Muslim state and offers a bold counter-narrative to mainstream perspectives, exploring the long-term consequences of religious division and political segregation. His vision of a united India and his unwavering belief in the secular, democratic ideals of the Indian Republic form the backbone of this powerful treatise.

In addition to his critique of the partition, Dr. Ambedkar reflects on the socio-economic, cultural, and human costs of division, questioning whether the creation of Pakistan truly addressed the problems it sought to solve or merely created new ones. His reflections on the plight of minorities, the rise of communalism, and the broader implications for South Asia make this book essential reading for anyone interested in the complex history of India-Pakistan relations, colonial legacies, and the challenges of nation-building in a divided world.

Key Features:

A critical analysis of the Partition of India by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, one of India’s greatest intellectuals.An in-depth exploration of the socio-political and cultural consequences of partition.Ambedkar’s unique perspective on the creation of Pakistan and the idea of separate nationhood.A timeless work for students, scholars, and anyone interested in South Asian history, politics, and the legacy of colonialism.Relevant for readers exploring themes of religious identity, nationalism, human rights, and interfaith relations.

Diwali Sale The Dismantling of India’s Democracy 1947 To 2025

Diwali Sale The Dismantling of India’s Democracy 1947 To 2025

India’s democracy, once celebrated as an unprecedented experiment in pluralism and participatory nation building, now faces a grave crisis. In this urgent and penetrating work, veteran journalist Prem Shankar Jha traces how the country’s hard-won democracy—rooted in diversity and tolerance—has been steadily hollowed out since Independence—slowly at first, and since 2014, with determined ferocity.

Structural flaws in our Constitution, like the lack of state-funded elections, Jha argues, were made substantially worse by Indira Gandhi’s ban on company donations to political parties. As parties increasingly turned to clandestine donors for election financing, politics became a near-criminal enterprise, facilitating the rise of a predatory state long before 2014. And now, under the Modi regime, the weaponization of state agencies, the serious undermining of electoral processes and the transformation of governance into a tool of political vendetta threaten to tear down the last remnants of India’s democracy.

Jha further argues that the erosion of democratic institutions, the rise of Hindu majoritarian politics and the normalization of state repression are not isolated events but symptoms of a deeper transformation. Drawing on Indian history and global parallels, he makes the bold case that what India is witnessing is not simply a drift towards authoritarianism but the emergence of a distinctively Indian form of fascism. Our only hope cannot be, he says, an electoral victory for the opposition; it must be grounded in a commitment to both political accountability and cultural inclusivity.

Rich with insight and analytical clarity from decades of engagement with the subject, The Dismantling of India’s Democracy is both a lament and a call to action. It is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand how a democratic republic can be undone from within—and how it might yet be reclaimed.

Diwali Sale An Era of Darkness – the ugly truth about br: The British Empire in India

Diwali Sale An Era of Darkness – the ugly truth about br: The British Empire in India

In 1930, the American historian and philosopher Will Durant wrote that Britain?s ?conscious and deliberate bleeding of India? [was the] greatest crime in all history?. He was not the only one to denounce the rapacity and cruelty of British rule, and his assessment was not exaggerated. Almost thirty-five million Indians died because of acts of commission and omission by the British?in famines, epidemics, communal riots and wholesale slaughter like the reprisal killings after the 1857 War of Independence and the Amritsar massacre of 1919. Besides the deaths of Indians, British rule impoverished India in a manner that beggars belief. When the East India Company took control of the country, in the chaos that ensued after the collapse of the Mughal empire, India?s share of world GDP was 23 percent. When the British left it was just above 3 percent. The British empire in India began with the East India Company, incorporated in 1600, by royal charter of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth I, to trade in silk, spices and other profitable Indian commodities. Within a century and a half, the Company had become a power to reckon with in India. In 1757, under the command of Robert Clive, Company forces defeated the ruling Nawab Siraj-ud-Daula of Bengal at Plassey, through a combination of superior artillery and even more superior chicanery. A few years later, the young and weakened Mughal emperor, Shah Alam II, was browbeaten into issuing an edict that replaced his own revenue officials with the Company?s representatives. Over the next several decades, the East India Company, backed by the British government, extended its control over most of India, ruling with a combination of extortion, double-dealing, and outright corruption backed by violence and superior force. This state of affairs continued until 1857, when large numbers of the Company?s Indian soldiers spearheaded the first major rebellion against colonial rule. After the rebels were defeated, the British Crown took over power and ruled the country ostensibly more benignly until 1947, when India won independence. In this explosive book, bestselling author Shashi Tharoor reveals with acuity, impeccable research, and trademark wit, just how disastrous British rule was for India. Besides examining the many ways in which the colonizers exploited India, ranging from the drain of national resources to Britain, the destruction of the Indian textile, steel-making and shipping industries, and the negative transformation of agriculture, he demolishes the arguments of Western and Indian apologists for Empire on the supposed benefits of British rule, including democracy and political freedom, the rule of law, and the railways. The few unarguable benefits?the English language, tea, and cricket?were never actually intended for the benefit of the colonized but introduced to serve the interests of the colonizers. Brilliantly narrated and passionately argued, An Era of Darkness will serve to correct many misconceptions about one of the most contested periods of Indian history.
