This is pretty fast-paced for a history book. Also loving the anecdotes and addressing of other South Asian nations like Srilanka, Bhutan, Nepal, Burma which have always been ignored in the context of Pakistan-India independence from the Brirsh Empire.

I'm really enjoying this book. I really loved the focus on Burma and its separation from Indian empire. My interest in Burma's chapter may stem from my own family's complicated history and relationship with the region. However, most books I have read regarding the history of the empire in the Subcontinent never really talk about Burma or South Arabia.
