Partition of British India and the Perfect Crime
BUSINESS RECORDER REVIEW
New investigative book on Partition unveils unseen truths
The book re-examines the Partition of 1947 as not just a hurried imperial withdrawal, but a calculated operation that manipulated timelines, silenced provinces, and reshaped borders with chilling precision
Voices
Silenced
Why were the Muslims of UP, who intellectually led the demand for Pakistan, denied the option to migrate with dignity or to decide their future? They became strangers in the land they once ruled.
The Hidden Mechanism
How Mountbatten’s influence and Nehru’s silence altered the Radcliffe Line.
Bihar’s Muslims were neither consulted nor protected. They were brutalized before 1947, were left with no roadmap, only the illusion of safety across a border they never chose.
What did “freedom” mean for the Muslims of Kerala or Assam? They were never asked. The Delayed Line goes beyond borders to ask why their fate was sealed without consent.
“The past did not end in 1947.”
It lives inside our borders and conflicts today. Understanding The Delayed Line is not nostalgia; it is a necessary confrontation.
