ABSTRACT This thesis examines the relationship between violence and urbanity. Using Karachi, Pakistan, as a case study, it asks how violent cities are imagined and experienced by their residents. The thesis draws on a variety of theoretical and epistemological frameworks from urban studies to analyze the social and historical processes of urbanization that have led to the perception of Karachi as a city of violence. It then uses the distinction that Michel de Certeau draws between strategy and tactic in his seminal work The Practice of Everyday Life to analyze how Karachiites inhabit, imagine, and invent their city in the midst of – and in spite of – ongoing urban violence.

The book is a welcome intervention in the area, dealing with the behind the scenes political machinations, migration and other fall-outs of the vivisection ::>f I the country with a special focus on Bengal. Chatterji's study is important in many counts, not least because there is a serious dearth of engageljl1ent on the topic even after 60 odd years of India's independence. In the, sub­ continent, and particularly in India, Partition Studies have been to a1hrge extent Punjab-centric.The Partition ofBengal in 1947 has been a neg\ei::ted area in Indian historiography and we still await a comprehensive look at the effects of the Partition combining West Bengal, the North-East and Bangladesh. The 1947 div"ision meant massive population migration across the borders of the newly independent nation states of India and Pakistan. Fifteen million people crossed the newly defined boundaries; in West Bengal alone an estimated 30 lakhs of refugees entered by 1960. For over a million people, it was death in va rious violent encounters involving Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs. For an estimated 80 thousand women, in India and Pakistan, 'it meant abduction and sexual assault.
