The Interim Government was a unique coalition of the Indian National Congress, All-India Muslim League, and non-Congress, non-League political figures. Further, it presided over a British\/British-trained state apparatus in a time of transition. Overlooked by the historiography of the period, given its sole identification with freedom\/Partition\/end of empire, it was important in its own right. The eleven months from September 1946 to August 1947 were packed as much with the formal exit of the empire as its informal continuance; as much with the anticipation of Partition as its alternatives. Alongside, this last government of British India attempted to govern too, with legacies for its independent successor(s). Rather than looking at its existence as just another event on the road to Partition, this book seeks to restore identity to the Interim Government, its personalities and their body of work, which illustrate the 'continuity and change' paradigm of post-1945 India.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRakesh Ankit, \u003cem\u003eLecturer in History and International Politics, Loughborough University (Leicester-UK)\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRakesh Ankit teaches history and international politics, Loughborough University, Leicester, UK.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 364\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.3 x 8.9 x 5.8 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 14, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47293357654265,"sku":"9780199489688","price":102.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/da7RBUQOGE9780199489688.webp?v=1769177593","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/india-in-the-interregnum-interim-government-september-1946-august-1947-hardcover","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
