Production of Postcolonial India and Pakistan

This work seeks to examine the event and concurrent transition that the inauguration of India and Pakistan as `postcolonial¿ states in August 1947 constituted and effectuated.Distinct from most other studies on the partition and independence the book assumes the constitutive moment as the focal point, offering a new approach to the study of partition in British India, decolonisation and the institutional of the postcolonial state.
