‘Slow death in India against quick death in Pakistan … ’
Pakistan to Bangladesh, 1947–71
The special section, ‘Pakistan to Bangladesh, 1947–71’, begins a reassessment of the ‘united’ Pakistan period on its own merits. From the vantage point of 1971, the inclusion of East Bengal and Sylhet (a district of Assam) in a Pakistan whose other part, or ‘wing’ as it was called, was separated by over a thousand miles of enemy territory, has always seemed to foretell the inevitable death of a united Pakistan. Yet, in its first couple of decades…
Anglo-Indians and the Punjab Partition
Anglo-Indians are often overlooked in the discourse on the independence of India and Pakistan. However, despite their small numbers, Anglo-Indians punched above their weight and had a significant presence in various critical fields, as well as active and robust and political organisations. This paper traces the development of Anglo-Indian politics in the Punjab, a province which (like Bengal) was partitioned in 1947. Starting with the general Ang…
Partitioning the University of the Panjab, 1947
In the summer of 1947, as preparations commenced for the partition of the province of Punjab in British India, the Lahore-based Panjab University became the site of a fierce debate concerning its future. Waged within, by its officials as well as between the members of the Punjab Partition Committee, this debate saw the Hindus and Sikhs among them wishing for a ‘physical’ partitioning of the university, while the Muslims wanted it to stay intact a…
Implementing Partition
This article focuses on the workings of the Punjab Partition Committee in the crucial months of July and August 1947. In bringing new material to the historiography of partition, this article challenges the widely held assumption that the Punjab Partition Committee did not deliver. It argues that one must assess and value the large degree of cooperation and agreement between Punjab political leaders on the Committee, despite the charged political…

Sovereignty and the Constitution
The constitution of a country is the supreme national institution, and its provisions significantly affect the development of politics and society. The process of constitution making is key for understanding the constitution, and an assessment of the process makes possible a better and deeper understanding of the workings of the country, its politics, economy, and polity. The discussion of Islamic constitutionalism has recently gained momentum, e…

Three Forgotten Accessions
The August 1947 transfer of power in India brought to the fore questions regarding the future of the areas which had long been leased by the government of India from certain princely states. Focusing on the Gilgit Agency, parts of which were leased from the state of Jammu and Kashmir, this article traces the nature of the agency and the manner in which it ultimately became a de facto part of Pakistan while Kashmir acceded to India. Conflicting ac…
Betrayal of Trust
This article analyses why and how the princely order, once considered the bulwark of British rule, came tumbling down so rapidly within a few months in 1947, following the intervention of Lord Mountbatten, a royal cousin, who the princes thought would support them in preserving their rule and privileges. How far were the princes themselves to blame and what role did Mountbatten play? Through a careful re-examination of available sources this arti…
