One minute before midnight on 1 January 1949, Nehru’s long battle with Jinnah ended. However, the rivalry they had bequeathed to their nations, and the world, had barely begun.

Even as Gandhi went on a fast until communal violence ended, Nehru and Jinnah were fighting their own battles on behalf of their countries, facing problems they hadn’t anticipated. Meanwhile, Kashmir was – and still remains – the roadblock to better relations between India and Pakistan. With Gandhi’s subsequent demise being projected as the death of a martyr, things were far from improving.

In this brilliantly detailed essay, Nisid Hajari explores the extent to which India’s and Pakistan’s early leadership defined the futures the two nations would eventually live through.
