520 _aNothing is more controversial in modern Indian subcontinental history than the partition of India, which gave birth to two nation-States, India and Pakistan. In this book a broad-based and a holistic attempt has been made in order to bring out the truth regarding the various causes and events that led to the partition of lndia, on the basis of authentic archival evidences, without bias or prejudice. The 'bargaining counter theory' advanced by Ayesha Jalal and supported by many prominent scholars like Anil Seal, Francis Robinson and Rafiq Zakaria has been convincingly refuted as untenable. Besides various other traditional notions and ideas related to partition have been disproved in the course of this study.
