The result, when it came, was tragic; India got its independence but the country was also partitioned in two- something that the leaders who fought for freedom had not expected. How and why it happened are questions that have intrigued historians ever since. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eMohan and Muhammad: Gandhi, Jinnah and the Break-up of British India\u003c\/i\u003e, Meghnad Desai has taken the two principal personalities-Mohandas Gandhi and Muhammad Ali Jinnah, now thought to be the two principal antagonists of the struggle-to bring out the similarities and parallels in their lives, their views and their interactions. While they struggled to win independence for the country they had grown up in, for which they gave up their lives, but all of that culminated in their beloved country getting divided. It is a moving, and ultimately heart-breaking, story. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003e- A gripping account of India's independence\u003c\/b\u003e-and the unexpected tragedy of Partition. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003e- Explore the untold story\u003c\/b\u003e behind how a united freedom struggle ended in division. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003e- Two towering figures, one divided nation\u003c\/b\u003e-discover the lives, ideals and conflicts of \u003ci\u003eMohandas Gandhi and Muhammad Ali Jinnah\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003e- Parallels and contrasts\u003c\/b\u003e between two leaders who shaped history but couldn't prevent its heartbreak. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003e- Meghnad Desai \u003c\/b\u003eoffers a fresh, nuanced perspective on one of the most pivotal moments in modern history. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003e-\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e Mohan and Muhammad: Gandhi, Jinnah and the Break-up of British India\u003c\/i\u003e-a powerful, emotional, and thought-provoking read.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Meghnad Desai\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9370032134\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789370032132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rupa Publications India Pvt Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/05\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.63d","brand":"Meghnad Desai","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48089438683391,"sku":"9789370032132","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bc3f4944-d3ba-40bf-afdf-c0a7c52b16e2.jpg?v=1769110259","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mohan-and-muhammad-meghnad-desai-9789370032132","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
