Making Peace With Partition

Making Peace With Partition (2005) by Radha Kumar – Penguin Books
Available from Crappy Old Books – because history doesn’t get yellowed and dog-eared for nothing.

In Making Peace With Partition, Radha Kumar takes on one of the most painful legacies of South Asia with clarity, compassion, and a hard stare at the politics of division. Published in 2005 by Penguin Books, this slim but potent volume examines the human cost of Partition and the ongoing struggle for reconciliation between India and Pakistan. Kumar blends history, diplomacy, and a hopeful—if sobering—look at what peace might actually take.

Our copy has seen some things. The cover’s a little battered, and someone may have underlined "secular democracy" with passionate pen strokes. But the spine still holds, and the ideas still hit.

Crappy Old Books – Selling yesterday’s difficult truths, slightly foxed.

This copy has notes in the back and a small amount of marginalia.
