In so doing this bold, innovative, and personal work rallies against narratives of inherent differences between India, Pakistan and Bangladesh and reveals the many things its people have in common.The story of South Asia told with verve, wit and brilliance ANURADHA ROY, author of All the Lives We Never LivedTruly magnificent MIHIR BOSE, journalist and author of The Nine WavesWonderful SIR MARK TULLY, former Bureau Chief of BBC, New Delhi WINNER OF THE LOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK PRIZE FOR HISTORY SHORTLISTED FOR THE CUNDILL HISTORY PRIZE 2024
