Midnight’s Furies: The Deadly Legacy of India’s Partition by Nisid Hajari is a compelling non-fiction account of the 1947 Partition of British India, a cataclysmic event that led to the creation of India and Pakistan. Published in 2015, the book delves into the political rivalries, communal violence, and enduring consequences of this division.

Hajari, a journalist and foreign affairs analyst, presents a narrative that intertwines high-level political decisions with the harrowing experiences of ordinary people. He focuses on key figures like Jawaharlal Nehru and Mohammad Ali Jinnah, whose personal animosities and political maneuvers significantly influenced the course of events. The book also examines the roles of Mahatma Gandhi, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, and Lord Louis Mountbatten in the lead-up to independence

The title, Midnight’s Furies, reflects the unleashed violence that accompanied the Partition. Hajari describes how, as the British expedited their withdrawal, communal tensions erupted into massacres, with trains carrying refugees becoming sites of slaughter. The book estimates that hundreds of thousands, possibly up to a million, lost their lives, and over 10 million were displaced in one of the largest mass migrations in history.
