IN-BhIIT eng 954.03 DAL/S Dalrymple, Sam Author 26825 Shattered lands : five partitions and the making of modern asia / Sam Dalrymple New Delhi; Fourth Estate India, 2025. 491p. : ill; 24cm. Includes bibliographies and index. Shattered Lands, for the first time, presents the whole story of how the Indian Empire was unmade. How a single, sprawling dominion became twelve modern nations. How maps were redrawn in boardrooms and on battlefields, by politicians in London and revolutionaries in Delhi, by kings in remote palaces and soldiers in trenches. Its legacies include civil wars in Burma and Sri Lanka, ongoing insurgencies in Kashmir, Baluchistan, Northeast India, and the Rohingya genocide. It is a history of ambition and betrayal, of forgotten wars and unlikely alliances, of borders carved with ink and fire. And, above all, it is the story of how the map of modern Asia was made.
