India, Citizenship, and Refugee Crisis: Political History of Hatred and Sorrow examines the effects of the Partition of India in 1947. The partition as suggested by the British to satisfy the Muslims, who formed the bulk of the British Army during the 2nd world war, could not stop the communal riots but instead led to their intensification. The effects were tremendous flows of refugees, Muslims from India to Pakistan and a few non-Muslims from Pakistan to India. That refugee problem was solved in Pakistan as the flow was limited due to the protection of the Muslims granted by India, but it is still a problem in India due to inability of the Indian government to provide enough security and facility to the refugees. This book analyzes the diverse issues surrounding this political history from economic and social points of view.

Industry Reviews

"This book is a through account and analysis of the history of treatments the refugees from Pakistan received since 1947. The authors sympathetically analyzed the causes of the refugee crisis and the hostile attitude of the successive governments of India except the most recent one of the Prime Minister Modi. However, that too is defective. This book will be helpful for the public policy makers, researchers and general public to know how the government of India treated the refugees from both Pakistan and Bangladesh."
