Abstract: This Special Issue looks at the importance of institutions and the role played by international actors in crucial episodes of India’s strategic history. The contributions trace India’s tryst with war and peace from immediately before the foundation of the contemporary Indian state to the last military conflict between India and Pakistan in 1999. The focus of the articles is as much on India as it is on Pakistan and China, its opponents in war. The articles offer a fresh take on the creation of India as a regional military power, and her approach to War and Peace in the post-independence period.

Abstract: The twelve years from 1935 to 1947 which marked the end of the British rule in India and led to the creation of two sovereign States, were packed with fast moving events they were years of crisis in which the placid atmosphere of a well-governed sub-continent was replaced by political turmoil born of struggle for independence and heightened by the forces released during the Second World War During these eventful years the Muslims of the sub-continent played a vital role which resulted in the creation of Pakistan This was, on the one hand, the final phase of the contraction of Muslim power in India which after reaching its zenith under Aurangzeb disappeared during the British rule On the other hand, it signified the determination of the Muslims of India to carve out a homeland with the avowed object of giving a concrete shape to Muslim ideals and aspirations

TL;DR: In the summer of 1947, as preparations commenced for the partition of the province of Punjab in British India, the Lahore-based Panjab University became the site of a fierce debate concerning its future as mentioned in this paper .
Abstract: In the summer of 1947, as preparations commenced for the partition of the province of Punjab in British India, the Lahore-based Panjab University became the site of a fierce debate concerning its future. Waged within, by its officials as well as between the members of the Punjab Partition Committee, this debate saw the Hindus and Sikhs among them wishing for a ‘physical’ partitioning of the university, while the Muslims wanted it to stay intact at Lahore, which was expected to fall in Pakistan. With no agreement forthcoming, and after references to the respective ‘national’ governments, the university remained where it was, while any ideas of academic cooperation between the two sides collapsed as a new ‘East Panjab University’ was established at Simla, India. The debate over this new university, vis-à-vis its old counterpart, further carved out the university as a space of not just education but one of exhibiting new-found sovereignty and creating a staff/student-citizenry, in those partitioned times.
