Gender And Violence In British India: The Road To Amritsar, 1914-1919

This study demonstrates that increasingly ferocious dispute culminated in the actual physical violence of the Amritsar Massacre of 1919. 9781349496501 1349496502 170 History NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=LseJDAEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&source=gbs_api en
