In 1947, when India achieved independence, Britain portrayed the transfer of power as the outcome of decades, even centuries, of responsible planning the honourable discharge of an historic responsibility. That view has never been seriously challenged in Britain. But this book shows that the official narrative is a travesty of what really happened.
Drawing on the documentary evidence letters, diaries, state papers Walter Reid reveals how Britain selfishly deceived and prevaricated in order to arrest political progress in India for as long as possible a shameful passage in British imperial policy which led to tragedy and untold suffering when independence finally became inevitable.
