Providing the reader approaches Tuker's While Memory Serves as a window to understanding the British colonial mindset, they are well equipped to appreciate that title.
Also, historians have paid little attention to India's communal violence before partitioning and independence (including Pakistan). So the difficulties presented by the deteriorating security situation and the eventual abolishment of the British Indian Army are laid bare. The same goes for the thinking of British commanders when their government initially sought to grant independence to a unified India.
