This book examines the origins and consequences of the violence that occurred between the Muslim and Hindu communities in pre-partition Bengal, which ultimately resulted in the creation of Pakistan. Dr. Gossman argues that incidents of communal "violence" during this period were politically motivated and deliberate, orchestrated by mid-level politicians for their own advancement and aggrandizement.
Riots and Victims introduces new analyses of local violence, identity, and state building, and drawing lessons that are of urgent concern for all countries wracked by ethnic violence today.
