Abstract
Following India's declaration of independence in 1947 and the subsequent partition into two nation-states, India and Pakistan, the region experienced a surge of violence and a massive exodus of refugees. In Delhi Reborn Rotem Geva explores the history of India's capital city during this tumultuous era, analyzing the ways in which the Second World War, nation building, and the crisis of partition all contributed to the city's profound transformation.
