Indian summer
I don’t pretend to have any good arguments for this idea, and I understand (to some degree) how and why it fell apart . I also understand that historic India was itself not very unified . That is in part what makes my attachment irrational, and perhaps the irrationality is part of the attachment itself.

5. Indian Summer: The Secret History of the End of an Empire , by Alex von Tunzelmann. Yet another high quality book on modern Indian history, here the theme is the departure of the British, the establishment of modern India, and of course partition.
