Professor Tyler Herber teaches in the Department of History and Political Science at Huntington University and is currently finishing his PhD at Purdue University. He will be sharing some of his research on how colonial ideologies of liberal democracy and Indian “communalism” responded to the anti-colonial claims of the Muslim League’s Pakistan Demand and led to the traumatic partition of British India into India and Pakistan along religious-majority lines in 1947.
