Partition

Description

The narrative in this book will tell you a story that began with the arrival of the British in India and ended in the creation of Pakistan. Much of this is probably familiar to you from what you have read in your history textbook at school. But in this book there are, besides the narrative, two inquisitive children who want to know more. They discuss why this or that happened and why one person did this and not that. Sometimes they pose these questions to their grandfather, and sometimes they look for answers themselves by putting themselves in the place of the people in the narrative.
