Soft cover. Condition: New. The book could have been appropriately sub-titled as 'Life in Pre-Partition Delhi (Dilli) Laid Bare'. It is, the first, and easily the last one of its kind by one of the vanishing breed of vintage Dilliwallas, born, bred and educated over there, before emigrating to Pakistan. Old Dilli of the author's childhood, breathed the very air of the life and times of Ghadar — the (Revolt or the Mutiny) of 1857. Until the early 30s there was hardly any electricity, running water, pucca paved streets and public transport except for tongas and dolies for women traveling from one mohallah, one house, one street to another. The book covers the intriguing canvas of life as seen by the author as a child and a young man. It also tells the story of an old family through its cycles of birth, marriage and death. The author, pries deep into the back alleys of the ancient city and portrays the youthful and adult delinquencies seen in their nook and crannies. Vignettes of the city's red light districts add the raw edge of realism rarely met elsewhere. The book is the third of the author's Partition Quartet. The other two being, Tuqseme-i- Hind Aur Bahadur Shah Zafar ki Wapsi (Partition and the Return of Bahadur Shah Zafar -Urdu) and Partition and the making of Mohajir Mindset (Oxford). The fourth and the last of the quartet Partition: An Emperor's Nightmare is under publication. The book is refreshingly free from the kind of morbid nostalgia associated with such personal narratives.…

From the cover: The East Pakistan tragedy was not just a failure of the military establishment of the day but also the abysmal collapse of civil society in West Pakistan. Launched at midnight, 25 March 1971, the military action went on for nine long months without eliciting any concerted protest from the West Pakistani public and political leadership. The few low voices raised against the military action were too feeble to make the army change the suicidal course it had set itself, leading to an ignominious military defeat and the breakup of the country. As chief of Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) and press advisor to the president and chief martial law administrator at that time, the author had the unique advantage of observing the tragedy as it unfolded. As the ISPR chief, he interacted with the national press and a cross-section of public and political leadership in both wings. In his description and appraisal of the various dramatis personae, he acts as an impartial observer. Apart from the fresh light the book sheds on the traumatic episode, the simplicity and candour of the narrative adds much to its readability. Thus, the book may well contribute towards the much-needed bridge building between Pakistan and Bangladesh.…
