The two discussed Hajari’s book about partition titled, Midnight’s Furies. Hajari, an Indian-American journalist, is on the editorial board for Bloomberg News, Asia. The two also did not comprehend the extent of the impact their words would have on their followers, which escalated the situation further. The session concluded by discussing the differences in the official history of partition in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, and how one side has always blamed the other for the way things ended so disastrously.
