Summary: In 1916-17 Mohammed Ali Jinnah persuaded the warring Hindu and Muslim politicians to sign a pact for an agreed future constitution of a united India. For this he was hailed as "Ambassador of Hindu-Muslim Unity." Thirty years later, he brought about Partition. What was responsible for this change? Personal ambition? British intrigues or Hindu obduracy? This book questions many of the myths that have grown around India's struggle for independence and highlights many factors that have been deliberately suppressed by historians on both sides of the border.
