    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    First published in 1954, The Transfer of Power in India: 1945-7 offers a detailed account of the pivotal events leading to India’s Independence and Partition. The book examines key moments such as the Simla Conference, the Cabinet Mission, the formation of the Interim Government, and the Constituent Assembly, providing a comprehensive analysis of the political and social dynamics of the era.


    E. W. R. Lumby also explores the role of Princely States and the challenges of Partition, offering valuable insights into the complexities of the transfer of power. With its meticulous documentation and inclusion of maps, this book is an essential resource for readers interested in Indian history, colonial studies, and political transitions. Ideal for scholars and history enthusiasts, it provides a nuanced perspective on one of the most transformative periods in modern history.
