Jawaharlal Nehru, Gandhi’s protégé and the political leader of India, believed Indians were an inherently nonviolent, peaceful people. Pakistan’s founder, Mohammad Ali Jinnah, was a secular lawyer, not a firebrand. But in August 1946, exactly a year before Independence, Calcutta erupted in street-gang fighting. A cycle of riots – targeting Hindus, then Muslims, then Sikhs – spiralled out of control. As the summer of 1947 approached, all three groups were heavily armed and on edge, and the British rushed to leave. All hell let loose. Trains carried Muslims west and Hindus east to their slaughter. Some of the most brutal and widespread ethnic cleansing in modern history erupted on both sides of the new border, carving a gulf between India and Pakistan that remains a root cause of many evils. From jihadi terrorism to nuclear proliferation, the searing tale told in Midnight’s Furies explains all too many of the headlines we read today. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Dimensions | 19.9 x 3.9 x 12.9 cm | | Isbn 10 | 144566013X | | Isbn 13 | 978-1445660134 | | Item Weight | 1.05 kg | | Language | English | | Print Length | 352 pages | | Publication Date | 15 Jan. 2017 | | Publisher | Amberley Publishing | ## Images ![Midnight's Furies: The Deadly Legacy of India's Partition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61lQha-zYtL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Insight into the partition between Hindustan and Pakistan *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 10 October 2017* Well researched and very well narrated, this book walks the tightrope of keeping an objective middle ground between two classic warring parties of Hindus and Sikhs versus Muslims successfully, while avoiding the pitfalls of expressing personal bias, although this must have been very tempting. After reading Midnights Furies it will become apparent why the prejudices between Hindus and muslims linger on and on, while there is no sight of any settlement in the Kashmir issue. Very well worth reading to gain insight into one of the worst episodes of mass carnage the world has ever seen. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best book I've read on partition. *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 21 February 2020* By far the best book I've read on partition. Very nuanced and well written account. However, for a book that says it is looking to analyse partitions affect on contemporary Indian-Pakistani relations, it could explore this a bit further. It hints to future animosities without anecdotally or analytically exploring any of these. Would highly recommend this book, but am only giving it four star because I don't feel it accurately portrays itself. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hajari has whetted my appetite for more. *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 4 December 2017* Tells an excruciatingly painful story not just through the eyes of the big players, Nehru, Jinnah, Gandhi, Mountbatten but from the point of view of the hundreds of thousand of innocent victims of the roaming vicious sectarian murder gangs. A chilling example of how circumstances and the wrong political decisions can create a tsunami which can literally sweep nearly a million away. This is a monumental area of history about which I previously knew very little. Hajari has whetted my appetite for more. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/49032938-midnights-furies-the-deadly-legacy-of-indias-partition](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/49032938-midnights-furies-the-deadly-legacy-of-indias-partition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-08-25*
