A classic... wonderfully enjoyable
WILLIAM DALRYMPLE
This is the authoritative history of South Asia in the 20th century.
Shadows at Noon tells the subcontinent's story from the British Raj through independence and partition to the forging of the modern nations of India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Unlike other histories of the region, which concentrate exclusively on politics, here food, leisure, and the household are given as much importance as nationhood, migration, and the state.
Chatterji makes contemporary South Asia - its cultural vibrancy, diversity, social structures, and political make-up - accessible to everyone. In so doing, this bold, innovative, and personal work rallies against narratives of inherent differences between India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh and reveals the many things its people have in common.
The story of South Asia told with verve, wit, and brilliance
