Azadi Aadhii Raat

Freedom at Midnight is the Hindi translation of the world-famous book by Dominique Lapierre and Larry Collins. Centered around Lord Mountbatten’s pivotal role, the book reveals that the last Viceroy of India was actually opposed to the partition and that, had he known Muhammad Ali Jinnah was “a man with only a few months to live,” he might have waited for Jinnah’s death instead of dividing the country. However, this secret was known only to Jinnah’s Hindu doctor, who chose not to betray his patient’s trust. Written in a gripping and engaging style, the book keeps readers deeply engrossed from beginning to end.
