Who Was Responsible for The Punjab Tragedy of 1947?

Who Was Responsible for The Punjab Tragedy of 1947? by renowned historian Dr. Kirpal Singh is an important historical study examining one of the most traumatic chapters in the history of Punjab—the Partition of 1947.

The book investigates the political circumstances, communal tensions, administrative decisions, leadership, and events that contributed to the violence and mass displacement surrounding the Partition of Punjab. Rather than treating 1947 simply as a date of independence, the study explores the difficult question of responsibility for the Punjab tragedy and the forces that led to unprecedented upheaval across the region.

Dr. Kirpal Singh was a noted scholar of the Partition of Punjab, and his historical work has been referenced in later scholarship on 1947. This volume is especially valuable for readers interested in Punjab history, Partition studies, Sikh history, British India, India-Pakistan relations, communal politics, migration, and the history of 1947.

A valuable addition to the library of students, researchers, historians and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of why Punjab was divided and how the tragedy of 1947 unfolded.
