I find it hard to read them, but still try to sometimes. Will do. Have you read Kulwant Singh's translation of Panth Prakash? It's also a must read. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelf Number: AN Howdy brother and as you may have guessed I don't post too much these days, as I'm very busy with work and also a little lazy lol. This book is ok-ish, I bought it when it came out but it isn't great but not poor either. One of the most outstanding books I've read on partition is "The Greatest Day" and it's very detailed and a long read but worth it for the info.

Wish it would get a reprint as the original print are very hard to find, unless you're paying crazy prices. The info in this book is amazing though.

The same book is £25 from amazon Uk https://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/8189487892/ref=nosim/booksprice-21 Although I was a good boy and went to Panjab to buy it, where it cost some 3 or 4 pounds I think. If you want to buy books best place is Amritsar, Panjab for the range and price. So many people go to Darbar Sahib when they go Panjab but never think of visiting the book stores across the road. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
