TEJAKAR JHA COMBO

THE FIRST PARTITION OF INDIA :-

This book takes readers on a journey back to the 18th century, witnessing the unification of Nepal, the intrigues and machinations of the British East India Company, and the events leading to the first partition of the country through the formalisation of the boundary between Nepal and India.
Spanning nearly a century, these developments had profound and far-reaching negative impacts on Mithila/Tirhut, a historically significant region that was divided between two nations. Despite this physical division, the people of Mithila remained deeply connected to their brethren across the newly drawn political boundary. While the ruling families were undermined by British treachery and the greed of newly established smaller zamindars, the region’s cultural, linguistic, and intellectual unity endured.
As descendants of great sages such as Janak and Yajnavalkya, and as inheritors of Mithila’s rich cultural and intellectual legacy, the people of the region remained bound by their shared heritage and the enduring ties of brotherhood, epitomised by Bhagawati Sita.
