Today I learned.

If you can give me a good book to read/listen to on the formation of Pakistan, I'll totally do it.

Most of my reading has been concerning the history of India, which is a bit hard to cover without going into Pakistan. I haven't read nearly enough to say what is a good account and what isn't, but I would say that going through the books Pakistan Or Partition Of India by B.R. Ambedkar and India Divided by Rajendra Prasad are worth going through, primarily because of their status as contemporary accounts from pre-independence, and hence pre-partition India.
