The history of India’s Partition is told through multiple anecdotes of real people—like \u003cstrong\u003eDeshraj \u003c\/strong\u003efrom Punjab, who was displaced, and travelled across north India just to find a bite of wheat roti—the taste of his home. We read about language politics and how it shaped the lives, and indeed the contours, of the subcontinent. We find stories of the lives of those who work in tea gardens, on whose hard work rests a multi-billion dollar industry. Far-reaching aspects of India’s history are explained and discussed—the tribe that brought stitched clothes to India; how the British conquered the Ganga-Brahmaputra Delta and shaped riverine systems and trade; how and why wars are fought; how India’s first hockey team, captained by a fearless Adivasi, won multiple Olympic gold medals; and what it is to be an ‘Indian’.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-expanded=\"true\" class=\"a-expander-content a-expander-partial-collapse-content a-expander-content-expanded\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-expanded=\"true\" class=\"a-expander-content a-expander-partial-collapse-content a-expander-content-expanded\"\u003eFirst published in Bengali as the \u003cstrong\u003eItihase Hathekhori \u003c\/strong\u003eseries, The People of India is intelligent, engaging, and written for today’s children—those who question, debate, and are curious about the true story of India and her people.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pupilio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46496804143357,"sku":"9789363365315","price":599.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0429\/3656\/5919\/files\/51fDDHi-EhL._SY445_SX342.jpg?v=1753537450","url":"https:\/\/www.pupilio.com\/products\/the-people-of-india-a-remarkable-history-in-9-chapters","provider":"Pupilio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
