Synopsis
Historians and political analysts have not paid enough attention to the crucial link between Indias partition and British fears about the USSR gaining control of Central Asia. Realizing that Indian nationalists would not play the Great Game against the Soviet Union, the British settled for those willing to do so, using Islam as a political tool in pursuit of their objectives. How this operation was conceived and carried out forms the theme of this untold story of Indias partition. Narendra Singh Sarila unearths top-secret documents which throw new light on several prominent political figures of the era, while bringing out little-known facts about the pressure that the US exerted on Britain to grant India her independence. The author also traces the roots of the present Kashmir imbroglio in this fascinating account.

Paperback. Etat : Good. The Shadow of The Great Game: The Untold Story of India's Partition provides a different perspective on the actual cause of the partition in India. The author was an ADC to Lord Mountbatten and he had unique insights into the mindsets of the personalities involved in the events leading up to India's independence and partition.Using his personal knowledge as well as documented evidence, the author asserts that Britain insisted on the partition of India, mainly because of its fears over Soviet expansion into the region. This was a long-standing rivalry, involving the imperialistic ambitions of both Russia and Britain in the south Asian region. This rivalry was referred to as the great game.The book continues to tell readers that after the Second World War, Britain feared losing control over the vast oil reservoirs in the Middle East. They felt that they needed a base in the Indian neighborhood, to prevent the Soviet Union from gaining a foothold in this region. The Shadow of The Great Game: The Untold Story of India's Partition also details the clash between Roosevelt and Churchill over the idea of dividing India.This book was published by HarperCollins in 2009 and is available in paperback.Key Features:The author has used various documentary evidence like the correspondence between political leaders in Britain and the Indian Viceroys like Wavell, Lilingthow and Mountbatten to support his assertions. The book provides sketches of the personalities of the British and Indian political leaders of the time. N° de réf. du vendeur 00105181896
