Khizr Tiwana
The Punjab Unionist Party and the Partition of India

This is a study of Khizr Tiwana, the Unionist Premier of the Punjab during the climactic period 1942-1947. It includes an examination of the clash between Khizr and Jinnah, the Muslim League leader, over the issue of the region's unity versus Muslim separatism.

This work is the first biography of Khizr Tiwana, the Unionist Premier of the Punjab during the climacteric period 1942-1947. Khizr's attachment to the ideals of cross-communal political cooperation and decentralisation of power are likely to become of increasing interest in a critical reappraisal of the Partition era.
