The Delayed Line: Partition of British India and The Perfect Crime
This landmark book by Sadiq Jafri explores one of the most critical events in South Asian history: the implementation of the Partition of British India. He refers to it as “The Perfect Crime” because the book reveals the untold side of 1947; how the division of regions was skewed, leading to massive upheaval, displacement, and violence, which he suggests were deliberate outcomes.

Rather than being a traditional history book, The Delayed Line is a powerful collection of evidence, lost narratives, and documented reports, compiled through years of investigation. It brings attention to the silenced voices of those who suffered during Partition and highlights the pursuit of justice.
