MUKTI: Free To Be Born Again: Partitions of Indian Subcontinent, Islamism, Hinduism, Leftism, and Liberation of the Faithful (http://www.amazon.com/Mukti-Partitions-Subcontinent-Islamism-Liberation-ebook/dp/B0178DD6BG/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1448807818&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=MUKTI%3A++Free+To+Be+Born+Again) by Dr. Sachi Dastidar "Mukti" is a commonly used term in Hindu-Buddhist philosophies meaning freedom from rebirth and liberation from oppression." The book focuses on the transformation of a society. It is a history-based autobiographical work reflecting three decades of fieldwork in Muslim-majority Bangladesh and Hindu-majority India. Many strands of real-life drama have been woven together with 1947 Hindu-Muslim, secular-Islamic, and 1971 Islamic-secular, ruling-minority vs. oppressed-majority partitions of India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Names of individuals involved as well as the names of villages have been fictionalized.
