Chatterji tells the story of the subcontinents recent history in a fluent sweeping arc. . . . Wonderfully enjoyable to read . . . [and] sure to become a classic.William Dalrymple, The Guardian
 
This radically original and ambitious history of the Indian subcontinent explores the regions unique twentieth-century history and foregrounds the deep connections, rather than the well-publicized fissures, between the cultures of India and Pakistan.
 
Taking the partitions of British India rather than the two world wars as the centurys inflection points, Joya Chatterji examines how issues of nationalism, internal and external migration, and technological innovation contributed to South Asias tumultuous twentieth century. Chatterji weaves together elements of her autobiography and family history  stories of such legendary figures as Tagore, Jinnah, Gandhi, and Nehru  and, in particular, the accounts of the many who were left behind and marginalized in relentless nation-building projects.
 
Chatterji examines the countries mirroring patterns in state building, social and cultural life, modes of leisure, consumption, and oppression, and offers a timely course correction to our understanding of the dynamics of South Asian history. It reframes the events of the twentieth century that are continuing to play out in the present day.
