Today I am writing review about scars of 1947 by Rajeev Shukla. As we all know India got independence on August 15th, 1947, but this independence has left a scar with itself, on people from both sides. The country, when got independence was already divided into two lands. And a large population had been displaced from here & there, and that is main content of book. Rajeev Shukla is not a writer only he was former journalist; he is an Indian politician, and he is also connected to BCCI as he was chairman of IPL. Importance of this book can be understood by that this book has been reviewed by some of greatest personalities “Sourav Ganguly, Shashi Tharoor, Priyanka Gandhi, Sunil Shetty, Sanjay Dutt” before that the more important thing is facts, feeling and stories hidden in this book. Before you jump to any conclusions this book is not a history book just, but it is compilations of stories of different people affected from the partition and how they experienced the divide of India into two different countries. The book talk abouts lot of people. There is one common thing in this book and that is everyone suffered during partition up to some extent. Some people managed to grow out of that, but some people unfortunately didn’t. this book tells what Pakistan is and how it was created. In one of these stories there is something which tells that During the devastation partition, those whom we considered as outsiders turned out to be our own and those who were our own also fell prey to the greed of money. During read, one question will arise many times that why this separation happened. It also mentions those people who played their role and contributed in the partition of the country. This is a story of compassion. This is the story of separation of individuals due to politics or ambition. This is story of bloodshed, but there is life after those doors also.
And love is the basic element which can save you. This message has been given with this book.
