LAHORE: BOOK 1 OF THE PARTITION TRILOGY (Paperback)  | Released: 9/30/2021

In the months leading up to independence, in Delhi, Jawaharlal Nehru and Vallabhbhai Patel are engaged in deliberations with British Viceroy Dickie Mountbatten over the fate of the country. In Lahore, as rumours of Partition make the rounds, divide-and-rule has come to hold sway, with the populace at each other's necks.Set in parallel threads in Lahore and Delhi, Lahore is a behind-the-scenes look into the negotiations and the political skullduggery that gave India its freedom, paying the price with batwara. As the men make the decisions and wield the swords, the women bear the brunt of the carnage that tests kinship and loyalty in the sticky hot months of India's cruellest summer ever.Backed by astute research that ensures the authenticity of the political thread, The Partition Trilogy will take readers back into a world of great political upheaval and churn. In its fresh, incisive and insightful portrayal of a cataclysm that haunts us to this day, The Partition Trilogy is both spellbinding and believable – a remarkable feat.
