Midnight’s Borders: A People’s History of Modern India

bySuchitra Vijayan

Midnight’s Borders is Suchitra Vijayan's historical account of a People’s History of Modern India. Moving between close detail and context, the book explains the forces surrounding its subject and connects them to the connected fields of history and political science. Throughout, the author balances an accessible narrative with the complexity needed to understand motives, constraints, and disputed interpretations. What emerges is a nuanced account of the subject, its immediate consequences, and its wider meaning. Historical context and individual experience remain equally important to the book's explanation.
