Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru A Historical Partnership 1916-1948 (Volume- IV)

This the fourth and final volume of Madhu Limaye's study of the interaction between Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru, the two most potent influences in modern Indian history. This volume covers the cataclysmic events of 1946-48 which witnessed the paralysis of the Central Government, the widespread communal violence, the acceptance of the Mountbatten Plan, birth of two Dominions, the subsequent mass exodus across the new borders and finally Gandhi's tragic assassination. The author, himself a young articulate participant in India's struggle for freedom, portrays Gandhi, in his last phase, historically seeking to put out the communal conflagration and restore sanity as the ruling principle of intercommunal relationship and Jawaharlal supporting him from within the Government.
