Towards the end of Paul Scott'sA Division of the Spoils, the final novel ofThe Raj Quartet, and in the television series as well, Indian people make an appearance and commit acts of unmotivated and horrible violence. The British heroine comments, 'Such a damn, bloody, senseless mess ... the mess therajhad never been able to sort out.' Making sense, sorting out, was supposed to be the special vocation of British rule, yet here were all the seething, primordial conflicts rising to the surface again in the Hindu versus Muslim partition of India in 1947
