520			_aIn 1940 the All-India Muslim League orchestrated the demand for independent Muslim states in India. Seven years later Pakistan was created amidst a communal holocaust of unprecedented proportions. Concentrating on the All-India Muslim League and its leader, Mohammad Ali Jinnah, The Sole Spokesman assesses the role of religious communalism and provincialism in shaping the movement for Pakistan. This is the most important scholarly study of the central event in modern South Asian history - the partition of India in 1947. An important text on the politics of South Asia, it is well written and clearly presented--Publisher's description
