Shattered Lands by Sam Dalrymple
A sweeping narrative that treats partition as a recurring process rather than a single event, tracing how colonial border-making, communal politics and state violence carved up the Indian subcontinent from the 1930s through the 1970s; it combines archival research, personal testimony and vivid storytelling to show how successive divisions — including the 1947 split and the later emergence of Bangladesh — remade communities, identities and national boundaries at enormous human cost.
