SynopsisIn this groundbreaking book, Pallavi Raghavan uses previously untapped
archival sources to weave together new stories about the experiences of
post-partition state-making in South Asia. Through meticulous research, she
challenges the existing wisdom about the preponderance of animosity and the
rhetoric of war. The book shows how amity and a spirit of cordiality governed
relations between the states of India and Pakistan in the first five years after
partition. Arguing that a hitherto overlooked set of considerations have to be
integrated more closely into the analysis of bilateral dialogue, this
book analyses the developments leading to the No War correspondence
between Nehru and Liaquat Ali Khan: the signing of a 'Minorities Pact'
between the two prime ministers; and the early stages of the Indus Waters of the
Indus Waters negotiations. It also explores the calculations of Indian and Pakistani
delegates at a series of interdominion conferences held in the years after Partition.
