The Map and the Scissors
Seller: Vedams eBooks (P) Ltd, New Delhi, India
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Soft cover. Condition: NEW. You cannot force two nations to live together any more than you can force two people,' he says quietly. Fatima smiles, feeling a slight thrill of victory. 'Divorce.' 'Pakistan.' Two intense, inflexible personalities duel over a question that will decide the fate of millions: one nation-or two? Jinnah, the consummate, ruthlessly analytical gentleman in a tailored suit, starts out sceptical of those who come to his door proposing a 'Land of the Pure', but ends up founding exactly such a country. Gandhi, the religious visionary in homespun khadi, experiments with Truth in his quest for one India-only to witness, in anguish, the bloody birth of two nations. The Map and the Scissors is a novel about the epic origin story of modern South Asia, brought to life by two London-educated lawyers, mirror-image rivals who dreamt the same dream of freedom-in catastrophically incompatible ways.
