ANTHROPOLOGY

Secrets from the Field

An Ethnographer’s Notes from Northwest Pakistan
Benedicte Grima
This is a personal account of an American woman who lived and worked
among Afghan refugees and tribal Pakistani Pashtuns in Northwest Pakistan.
Benedicte Grima’s first visit to this region was in 1979 when she drove from
Paris. During her subsequent visits, she travelled extensively and developed
meaningful connections with the people. She immersed herself in their world
to provide a sensitive portrayal of a region which has recently gained
significance in the West.
2006, 170 pages, 216x138mm, Paperback ISBN: 978-0-19-547164-9, Rs 250
Pilgrims of Love
The Anthropology of a Global Sufi Cult
Pnina Werbner
Werbner’s book traces the development of a Sufi Naqshbandi order which
originated in Pakistan and has extended to Britain, Europe, the Middle East,
and Southern Africa. Drawing on twelve years of fieldwork, she explains the
complex organization of Sufi orders as regional and transnational cults, and
examines how such cults are manifested through ritual and embodied in
sacred mythology and global diasporas.
2005, 364 pages, 216x138mm, Hardback ISBN: 978-0-19-597985-5, Rs 550
The Performance of Emotion among Paxtun

Women
Benedicte Grima
Based on her extensive experiences of tribal life in Pakistan and Afghanistan,
the author describes a ritual which provides Paxtun women with an outlet for
their emotions. The author’s access to different levels of Paxtun society enables
her to express the diverse ways in which this ritual is performed throughout
the Paxtun culture.

The Tigers of Baluchistan

Sylvia Matheson
For five years, the author lived among the Bugtis, traditionally known as the
tigers of Baluchistan, who are one of the most distinguished Baluch tribes of
Pakistan. She travelled extensively in remote parts of tribal territory, sharing a
tough primitive way of life unchanged for centuries and recording it on tape,
cine, and still fi lms. The result is a fascinating and very vivid eyewitness
account of how the Bugtis are dealing with their sudden confrontation with
twentieth century industrialization, following the discovery and development
of Asia’s largest natural gas field inside their area.
A History of the Peoples of Pakistan

Towards Independence
Jane Hussain
An exhaustive anthropological work on the peoples of Pakistan from the lost
historic civilizations, right up to the creation of Pakistan in 1947. This work
also covers the political currents that led to the emergence of Pakistan and is a
major contribution towards understanding Pakistan’s history.
Afghanistan
Louis Dupree
Afghanistan looks at this age-old land and country as it was before the Soviet
invasion. It contains two epilogues; one written in 1978 and the other in 1980
right before the Soviet invasion. Afghanistan traces the development of this
country from a tribal and politically unstable nation to one with a system of
representative government consistent with its cultural and historical patterns.
Apart from the narrative, the author presents all this material to us through
charts, maps, and illustrations. It also contains appendices on music and
calendars used in Afghanistan.

The Pathans
With an Epilogue on Russia
Sir Olaf Caroe
The Pathans is a labour of love and in its pages the Pathan and the grandeur of
his scenic setting spring to urgent life. The Pathans themselves recognize this
work as the locus classicus of their history. This impression includes an
Epilogue written by the author in the light of recent events in Afghanistan.

Ancient Cities of the Indus Valley Civilization

Jonathan Mark Kenoyer
The book is written as an introductory text on Indus civilization, along with a
catalogue section that illustrates some of the most important objects recovered
during the most recent excavations at Harappa, as well as earlier finds from
excavations in the 1920s and 1930s. The abundant maps and line drawings,
along with illustrations in colour and black and white, make this an optimal
teaching tool for high school and college teachers.

Zahoorul Akhlaq
A Critical Life
Roger Connah
This book will not only serve as an introduction to Zahoorul Akhlaq but will
also locate this extraordinary artist within a wider art practice which must
debate many of the issues facing a young contemporary audience now living
under the ‘seige of Islam’ and the demonisation of Muslims everywhere.
Zahoorul Akhlaq was clearly enigmatic, warm, and intimate but his
labyrinthine search for a visual philosophy—an iconography of being—
remained relatively misunderstood. Akhlaq was not only one of the leading
painters and experimental artists in Pakistani art circles, he pioneered the role
of art as a seriously engaged critical practice.
2007, 350 pages, 240x180mm, Hardback ISBN: 978-0-19-547472-5, Price not fi xed
Bahawalpur
History and Architecture
Compiled by Major-General Shujaat Zamir Dar
This book highlights the magnificent buildings of great historical and
architectural value in Bahawalpur, a former princely state in Pakistan. The
imposing forts, magnificent palaces and the shrines of Uch are a living
testimony to the grandeur of Cholistan, in the Punjab. Fully illustrated, with
more than a hundred photographs, this book serves as a guide and a beacon
for archaeologists, architects, anthropologists, and general readers.
The Friends of God

Sufi Saints in Islam: Popular Poster Art from Pakistan
Jürgen Wasim Frembgen
Modern poster-portraits depicting Sufi saints and their shrines are a vivid
medium of piety and devotion. These colourful, visually fascinating and
powerful prints are particularly significant for the study of contemporary
views of the South Asian Sufi tradition shared by the common people.
Unfolding a world of imagination, they reflect the visual aesthetics of folk art
and pop art steeped in exuberance and playfulness. Through comprehensive
documentation and analysis, this book aims to introduce the genre of popular
Sufi poster art for the first time to a wider readership.

Artists’ Voices: Body

Amin Gulgee Gallery
This catalogue is a compilation of the works produced by various
artists for the exhibition entitled ‘Artists’ Voices: Body’. A variety
of themes are presented, including feminism, spirituality and
transcendence, identity, metaphors, social issues and more. In this
catalogue, the body can be viewed in a variety of contexts, ranging
from the personal, physical and psychological to the metaphysical,
historical, and socio-political.
2006, 180 pages, 275x210mm, Paperback ISBN: 978-0-19-547358-2, Rs 1,595
Artists’ Voices: Calligraphy

Amin Gulgee Gallery
This catalogue is a compilation of the works produced by various
artists for the exhibition entitled ‘Artists’ Voices: Calligraphy’. For
the exhibition, Amin Gulgee and his co-curator, Sheherbano
Hussain, asked artists from across Pakistan to engage with Islamic
calligraphy. The idea behind the show was not only to create a
dialogue on the subject of calligraphy, but to bring fresh ideas and
experimentation to an art form that very much belongs to Pakistan
as a society. The show was an attempt to create awareness and
dialogue about a great, historical art tradition.
2006, 190 pages, 275x210mm, Paperback ISBN: 978-0-19-547359-9, Rs 1,595
Laila Shahzada
Exploring an Inner Landscape
Salwat Ali
Laila Shahzada was foremost among the handful of women artists of the 1960s
brave enough to forge a modern idiom to articulate their aesthetic sensibilities.
The first artist to draw inspiration from the archaeological sites of the Indus
Valley and Taxila region, Laila’s oeuvre played an important role in initiating
and popularizing the ancient history of Pakistan as viable subject matter. This
book explores Laila’s life and art which was characterized by rich colourization
and stirring organic undulations with a strong accent on the surreal and the
mystical.

The Art of the Mussulmans in Spain

Shahid Suhrawardy
This book covers in rich detail a period of Islamic history not available to most
scholars of Islamic Art. As Suhrawardy was well versed in Spanish as well as
Arabic and Persian, he was able to study what had been documented in
Spanish and other Art History sources about the influences on the Muslims
which were brought to bear on the artifacts and architecture of Spain during
the period of the Moorish Kingdoms. The author gives detailed descriptions of
ivories, laces, and other objects found in the Islamic collections of many of the
museums in Europe of that time.
Islamic Architecture in South Asia

Pakistan–India–Bangladesh
Ahmad Nabi Khan
The originality of the book lies in the presentation, in a single volume, of the
details of Islamic era monuments in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh.
Meticulous recording of details, elaborate references to historical material, and
precise classifications of formal elements make this a valuable reference book.
Arranged according to the style and the period, several sites and monuments
that were hitherto known only to the specialist, have been included.
Image and Identity

Painting and Sculpture in Pakistan, 1947–1997
Akbar Naqvi
This is the first-ever history of art written in the country, which discusses
artistic forms and personal identities of artists as a discourse on the modern
and contemporary art of Pakistan. The author argues that Pakistani art is a
distinct facet of the Muslim heritage of the subcontinent. A separate chapter
deals with Pakistan’s women artists, who are defining their independent role
in the gender context. A chapter on sculpture draws notice for the first time to
its lively existence in Pakistan.

Nagori
Voice of Conscience
Amber Romasa
In painting or in his writings on art, Nagori’s expression remains forceful
and blunt. Any conversation with him on the subject of his work and life
means being exposed to an encyclopaedic range of knowledge on the world
of art, the significance of protest art, the Indian and Muslim heritage of
art, combined with a brimming passionate alertness to historical and
present injustices. This book is an exploration of the artist and his
powerful works of art which communicate through daring imagery and
strident colours, and point out political failings, economic disparity, and
social injustice.

Glimpses into the Corridors of Power

Gohar Ayub Khan
The author, being the son of Pakistan’s first military dictator, Mohammad
Ayub Khan, offers an insider’s view of being around the people who occupied
the corridors of power and of events that directly and deeply affected the
course of Pakistan’s unsteady political history. Gohar Ayub was himself
politically active, winning a National Assembly seat six times over the years.
He was nominated Speaker in 1990 and Foreign Minister in 1997. During his
tenure, Pakistan exploded the nuclear bomb in May 1998. He is presently
Senior Vice President of the Pakistan Muslim League.
The Dust of the Road

A Translation of Gard-e-Raah
Akhtar Husain Raipuri
Translated by Amina Azfar
This book is the translation of the Urdu memoir, Gard-e-Raah, which was first
published as a serialized autobiography in the Urdu journal Afkar, to
enthusiastic response. The book has been deemed as one of the finest Urdu
memoirs to date. Fascinating vignettes of Raipuri’s close association with some
of the luminaries of Indian politics and the world of letters, such as Jawaharlal
Nehru, Maulvi Abdul Haq and Munshi Premchand, has enhanced the interest
of the book. His knowledge of history and his extensive reading in many other
subjects, as well as his varied experiences, give the book its wonderfully
mature and sophisticated flavour.
Jinnah: Creator of Pakistan

Hector Bolitho
Jinnah: Creator of Pakistan was the official biography of the founder of
Pakistan, Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah. It proved popular, and from
the year of its first publication in 1954, it was printed many times. For a full
thirty years it was the only internationally acknowledged work on Mohammad
Ali Jinnah. In this book, Bolitho has collected anecdotes and assessments from
a large number of Jinnah’s colleagues and acquaintances and has strung them
together very skilfully upon an outline of the domestic events of Jinnah’s life
and of the great political events in which he played so dominant a part.

Lahore: A Sentimental Journey

Pran Nevile
Lahore, first published in 1993, is Pran Nevile’s tribute to the land of his birth.
Nevile’s reminiscences transport the reader into the heart of Lahore as it was
in the 1930s and 1940s—a city bustling with activity where people coexisted
harmoniously, unfettered by considerations of religion, region or caste. The
author underscores the contrast between pre-and post-Partition Lahore and
the sense of pain, loss, and longing for one’s homeland experienced by the
displaced millions in India and Pakistan is palpable.
In Quest of Jinnah
Diary, Notes, and Correspondence of Hector Bolitho
Edited by Sharif al Mujahid
Hector Bolitho’s Jinnah: Creator of Pakistan (1954) became his most celebrated
and influential book. In Quest of Jinnah offers fresh and authentic insights into
the personality and politics of Mohammed Ali Jinnah. This volume contains
expunged passages from the first draft of Jinnah: Creator of Pakistan along
with Bolitho’s diary and notes, his correspondence with the government of
Pakistan functionaries and highly placed individuals in Britain, India and
Pakistan who had known Jinnah personally, as well as the English and
American reviews of Jinnah: Creator of Pakistan.
Diaries of Field Marshal Mohammad Ayub

Khan, 1966–1972
Edited by Craig Baxter
Field Marshal Ayub Khan kept his diary from September 1966 to October
1972, a very active period in Pakistan’s history which included Ayub’s yielding
of the presidency to Yahya Khan and the period of Yahya’s rule that saw the
independence of Bangladesh, and also the replacement of Yahya by Zulfiqar
Ali Bhutto. Ayub’s diaries present his views and interpretations of the events of
the period for which they were kept. The diaries will provide essential material
for those studying the period and for those who lived through these times to
understand the views of Ayub.

Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy
A Biography
Begum Shaista Suhrawardy Ikramullah
One of the most controversial and also the most misunderstood of Pakistan’s
political leaders, Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy played a pivotal role in sub-
continental politics when he undertook the stupendous feat of uniting the
educationally, economically and politically backward Muslims of Bengal and
leading them to vote for the Muslim League and for the creation of Pakistan.
The author, a cousin of Suhrawardy’s and herself an active participant in the
early political life of the country, was in the enviable position of observing the
intricate maneuverings that went on behind the scenes to deprive him of his
mandate—and recounts in vivid detail the stress and strains of the times.
The Parwan Wind

Dust Motes
B. K. Zahrah Nasir
Introduction by Muneeza Shamsie

war and its very personal effect on the people she met in Kabul when she
travelled there in 2004.
A Woman of Substance
The Memoirs of Begum Khurshid Mirza
Edited and Compiled by Lubna Kazim
Foreword by Gail Minault
Begum Khurshid Mirza was the daughter of Sheikh Abdullah and Waheed
Jahan Begum who were the founders of Aligarh Women’s College. This book is
more than an account of Khurshid Mirza’s personal life. It spans the years
from 1857 to 1983 and provides insights into the social conditions of Indian
Muslims, the state of Muslim women’s education, and the transition to
Pakistan, while illuminating Khurshid Mirza’s rich and varied life as an
activist, radio and television artist, a writer, a devoted daughter, wife, and

Encounters with Destiny

Autobiographical Reflections

Javid Iqbal
Translated by Hafeez Malik and Nasira Iqbal
This book, originally written in Urdu, is an English translation of the
autobiography of a Pakistani writer, philosopher and jurist, Dr Javid Iqbal.

developments in his native land.
Permit to the Punjab

A Celebration of a Lifetime of Friendship with Muslims
Heather Bolton
This book covers a journey undertaken by the author, initially in 1968, from
the United Kingdom to Pakistan, accompanied by a Pakistani friend living
and working in England. The author describes experiences and sights seen
during the overland journey by car, and writes about the Pakistani family who
took her to their hearts and accepted her fully, notwithstanding the differences
in culture, language, and religion. This was the start of a very special
friendship that has lasted a lifetime.
My Fellow Traveller
A Translation of Humsafar
Hameeda Akhtar Husain Raipuri
This is Hameeda Akhtar Husain Raipuri’s first work written at the age of 72.
The warm and guileless flow of her language, and her woman’s perceptions,
make this book a wonderfully pleasant evocation of a past era and departed
individuals. Not only does she throw light on the character and unusual family
history of her late husband, Akhtar Husain Raipuri, a well-known intellectual,
she also provides luminous vignettes of prominent people such as her father
Zafar Omer, a popular Urdu novelist of his day, Sarojini Naidu, Gandhi, and
Maulvi Abdul Haq. Moreover, this book fi lls the gaps in her husband’s tour de
force, Gard-e-Rah.

Captive Princess
Zebunissa, Daughter of Emperor Aurangzeb
Annie Krieger Krynicki
Princess Zebunissa has remained almost completely ignored by chroniclers
and historians. Her father, the Emperor Aurangzeb had incarcerated her in the
fortress prison of Salimgarh, where she languished for twenty years until her
death. Everything about her life seems shrouded in mystery. Only her poems
give us an indication of her character. She seems to have been a very humane
person, with weaknesses, passions, and an indomitable pride. This book
responds to the need for studies of notable Islamic women that not only sheds
light on the condition and culture of their lives but also provides other
perspectives of the Muslim process of rule.
Haji Sir Abdullah Haroon

A Biography
Doulat Haroon Hidayatullah
Foreword by HRH Princess Sarvath El Hassan of Jordan

political life. The biography also includes some important documents that

The Lamp of Love

Journeying with the Sabri Brothers
Amatullah Armstrong Chishti
This book recounts the journey that took the author from the midst of an
Australian bushland paradise to the rapture of devotion at the shrines of the
great Sufi saints in Pakistan and India. It tells of her spiritual connection to
Pakistan’s legendary qawwals, the Sabri Brothers and her direct experience of
being engulfed by their powerful and ecstatic music. The author further
elaborates upon the Sufi spiritual journey, highlighting the abysses and peaks
which are encountered on the way.

Memoirs of Lt. Gen. Gul Hassan Khan

In his candid autobiography Lieutenant-General Gul Hassan Khan recounts
his experiences as ADC to the Quaid-i-Azam which gave him an insight into
the character of the founder of Pakistan. His experiences enabled him to
assess, in the light of standards set by Jinnah, the politicians who later
occupied centre-stage. The author’s main concern in the book is with
leadership, with the rapport that is, or should be, established between the
commander and the men he leads. General Gul Hassan also narrates and
analyses dispassionately the events of the India-Pakistan wars of 1965 and
1971. The final section of the book covers events after the fall of Dhaka, and
deals with the author’s relationship with Zulfi kar Ali Bhutto.
Memoirs of a Bystander
A Life in Diplomacy
Iqbal Akhund
Written by a pioneer diplomat of Pakistan, this book makes an important
contribution to a dispassionate understanding of critical and controversial

light on critical and still controversial events in Pakistan’s history.
M. A. Jinnah
Views and Reviews
Edited by M. R. Kazimi
This is a collection of articles written by the most eminent authorities on

Sher Shah Suri

A Fresh Perspective
Basheer Ahmad Khan Matta
This is an account of a man of surpassing personal excellence who remains a
chief figure of history both as a great and exemplary ruler of India and as the
greatest leader produced by the Afghans. This book seeks to examine and
evaluate his performance in both these capacities; to explore the pith and
essence of the great man and determine his place in the currents of Indian
history as well as in the independent stream of Afghan history. Moreover, and
most significantly, its conclusions are drawn from the cardinal lessons
ingrained in Indian history.
A Georgian Saga
From the Caucasus to the Indus
Meherafroze Mirza Habib
The book provides an insight into the lives of Mirza Khusro Beg, a scion of a
princely family of Georgia, who was adopted by Mir Karam Ali Khan Talpur,
and Fareedun, also from Georgia, whose paths fatefully crossed thousands of
miles away, in distant Sindh. The author traces the historical background that
led to the author’s ancestors’ migration from Georgia in the early 1800s to
Sindh, and recreates the era of domestic feudal revolts, the rapidly changing
montage of conquerors and the imposition of foreign rule by rival imperial
powers in Georgia. The second half of the book focuses on Khusro’s life as a
young man, and his relationship with the Mirs of Sindh.
Back to the Pavilion

M. Attiqur Rahman
This is a highly readable account of the life of an outstanding military leader
of our time—General Attiqur Rahman. His biography portrays a man adept at
the use of the pen as well as the sword, a fine fighter and an efficient
administrator during his tenure as Governor and Martial Law Administrator.
The author’s recollection of his regiment’s exploits at Moulmein, Burma in
1942, and in the crossing of the Sittang River provides a vivid, though
classically understated description of infantry operations. He was among those
brave but hapless men who made a rearguard march into India looking ‘as
gaunt and ragged as scarecrows’.

A Pathan Odyssey
Mohammad Aslam Khan Khattak
Edited with a Foreword by James W. Spain

governor, minister, ambassador, politician, and businessman.
‘Dear Mr Jinnah’
Selected Correspondence and Speeches of Liaquat Ali Khan,
1937–1947
Edited by Roger D. Long
Foreword by Stanley Wolpert
Liaquat Ali Khan’s letters to Jinnah and his speeches show Liaquat’s devotion
to the Quaid-i-Azam and to the concept of Pakistan. From 1937 till 1947, they
worked so closely together that Jinnah called Liaquat ‘my right hand’. This
book shows the relationship which changed the course of history in South
Asia.
Unlikely Beginnings
A Soldier’s Life
Major-General A. O. Mitha

century. General Mitha’s life in the army covered a wide range of experiences
and brought him many years in senior positions. As the founder and
commander of the SSG he was responsible for creating an important fighting
force in the army. Unorthodox and bold, his views on the army’s perennial
concern with the relationship between juniors and seniors are presented in
lively anecdotes.

Memoirs of a Rebel Princess

Abida Sultaan
Foreword by Sahabzada Yaqub Khan
Written shortly before her death and based on the diaries that she kept
throughout her life, this book documents the activities of a Muslim princess
who rebelled against societal conventions to take an active public role, first, as
heir-apparent and chief secretary of an Indian princely state, then as diplomat
and dissident in independent Pakistan.
Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah

His Personality and His Politics
S. M. Burke and Salim Al-Din Quraishi
This well-researched book convincingly shows that it was not Quaid-i-Azam
Mohammad Ali Jinnah, but Mahatma Gandhi who first introduced religion
into politics. Congress policies under Gandhi drove the Hindus and the
Muslims irreconcilably apart and they eventually convinced Jinnah, who had
long fought for Hindu-Muslim unity, that his dream of united India was
nothing but a mirage.
Brothers in the Raj

The Lives of John and Henry Lawrence
Harold Lee
In this first full-length joint biography, the author traces the careers of John
and Henry Lawrence, the first British administrators of the Punjab. Both of
them acquired formidable reputations as founders of the paternalist tradition
of rule in the province and became heroes of the Great Revolt of 1857. Their
disagreements during their rule led to Henry’s removal to Rajasthan and then
to Lucknow where he died. John, who remained at Lahore, organized the
recapture of Delhi and survived to become viceroy.

Liaquat Ali Khan

His Life and Work
Muhammad Reza Kazimi
This is the first comprehensive and critical study of the life and political career
of Liaquat Ali Khan, the first Prime Minister of Pakistan. To analyse his role,
the author has drawn upon hitherto unpublished sources and also interviewed
Liaquat Ali Khan’s wife, Begum Raana Liaquat Ali Khan and brother,
Nawabzada Sadaquat Ali Khan. Liaquat’s historical role in dividing the armed
forces prior to Partition and heading off a coup by the Indian Army in 1947
are some of the aspects which have been highlighted in this book for the first
time.
A Journey to Disillusionment
Sherbaz Khan Mazari
Though primarily the memoirs of a leading opposition figure, the book is also
in part, a history of Pakistan. Beginning with Mazari’s entering politics as a
young man in opposition to the Ayub Khan Government, it goes on to give an
account of the Bhutto and the Zia periods. The author makes interesting
revelations about the leading political players and the events of those
tumultuous times which eventually led to Bhutto’s ouster in 1977.
The Gun Tree

One Woman’s War
B. K. Zahrah Nasir
Introduction by Muneeza Shamsie
The Gun Tree is a personal account of one woman’s war, both internal and
external. Set in Afghanistan during the Russian occupation, when the author
travelled to that country with the Mujahideen, dodging bombs and bullets
along the way, and the emotional mindfield of her own inner psyche in the
wake of a divorce. A high adventure in more ways than one.

From Purdah to Parliament

Shaista Suhrawardy Ikramullah
Shaista Ikramullah was a member of the Muslim League; a member of the first
Constituent-cum-Legislative Assembly of Pakistan; Deputy Leader of the
Pakistan delegation to the UN in 1956; and Pakistan’s Ambassador to Morocco
in 1964. This book is an updated edition of her memoirs, first published in
1963. It is an extremely interesting account of how she moved on from a
secluded and sheltered life in purdah to the hurly-burly of politics.
Banker to the Poor

The Autobiography of Muhammad Yunus, Founder of the
Grameen Bank
Muhammad Yunus with Alan Jolis
Foreword by HRH The Prince of Wales
This is an autobiographical account of the founder of the Grameen Bank,
Muhammad Yunus. It is a fundamental rethink on the economic relationship
between the rich and the poor, their rights, and obligations. The Grameen
Bank is founded on principles of trust and solidarity. Muhammad Yunus
believes that the right to credit should be recognized as a fundamental human
right because credit is the last hope left to those faced with absolute poverty.
The unique and extraordinary methods he used to combat human despair are
recounted here with humility and conviction.
Mirza Ghalib
A Creative Biography
Natalia Prigarina
This is a creative and interesting biography based on the life and work of
Mirza Ghalib (1797–1869) who was arguably the greatest eastern poet of the
nineteenth century. Here, two main motifs interweave—the poet’s destiny and
his creative work. His poetry reveals itself as a wonderful testimony of
harmony, spiritual power, inner freedom, and intellectual capacity.

The Life and Work of Jalaluddin Rumi

Afzal Iqbal
Rumi’s is perhaps the only example in the history of literature where one who
is entirely devoted to prose suddenly bursts forth into poetry in his middle
age, thus, becoming the greatest mystical poet of all times. In 1261 Rumi
began the monumental work of writing the Mathnavi. Towards the end of the
book, the author deals with Rumi’s thought and provides translations of those
portions of the Mathnavi which had hitherto not been available in English.

Stanley Wolpert
Mohammad Ali Jinnah was the inspirational father and first head of the state
of Pakistan. Wolpert shows how Jinnah’s shrewd and skilful leadership

Politics and Genre in “Hamlet”

Second Edition
Adrian A. Husain
A leading literary critic takes a historicist view of Shakespeare’s most famous
and enigmatic play. It is concerned with identity, time and power in Hamlet
and the question of aesthetic form in relation to all these. It takes a fresh look
at a Renaissance hero who exists, oddly, on the margins of his play—and yet is
condemned to be its hero. It frames the question that lies, implicitly, at the
heart of Hamlet and, in some strange way, constitutes its tragedy: what is a
play if not playacting?
The second edition of the book clarifies and further corroborates this. The themes
of incest and political legitimacy are addressed, the ‘revision’ theory is explored—
and debunked—and the ahistorical character of Richard examined in the context
of Richard II in additional notes. Elsewhere, the author adduces fresh evidence to
demonstrate what he sees as crucial to Hamlet: the protagonist’s remarkable
facility for and preoccupation with theatre screening and indeed impeding his
capacity for spontaneous historical action.

Brilliantly concise
Very Short Introductions
to almost everything
Combining authority with wit, accessibility and style, Very Short Introductions are ideal
for anyone who wants an introduction to some of life’s most interesting topics; from
emotion and logic, to globalization and terrorism. Perfect for people who want something
intellectually stimulating, the carefully selected authors combine authoritative analysis,
new ideas, and enthusiasm to make often challenging topics highly readable.
Architecture
Andrew Ballantyne
The balance of posterity and practicality in architecture throughout history,
and its cultural relevance—from the Pyramids of Ancient Egypt to the Sydney
Opera House, starkly contrasted with common cottage dwellings—are
skillfully examined in this book. While the reader is introduced to particular
historical periods, and to particular styles such as ‘baroque’ and ‘modern’,
Andrew Ballantyne goes beyond this to explore the economic, political, and
aesthetic significance of buildings, looking at how architecture acquires
meaning through tradition and how it contributes to our sense of who we are.
Aristotle
Jonathan Barnes
The influence of Aristotle, the prince of philosophers, on the intellectual
history of the West is second to none. In this book Jonathan Barnes examines
Aristotle’s scientific research, his discoveries in logic, his metaphysical
theories, his work in psychology, ethics, and politics, and his ideas about art
and poetry, placing his teachings in their historical context.

Art History
Dana Arnold
In this clear and concise book, Dana Arnold presents an introduction to the
issues, debates, and artefacts that make up the discipline of art history. Using a
wide range of images, from Easter Island statues to Constable’s The Cornfield,
the author shows how the artworks themselves can be the starting point for
how we ‘read’ art history, and suggests a diversity of ways through which we
can enjoy, think about, and understand art. With a glossary of technical terms,
and list of useful website addresses, this is an invaluable and accessible
introduction to a fascinating subject.

Buddhism
Damien Keown
In clear and straightforward language, and with the help of maps, diagrams,
and illustrations, this book explains how Buddhism began and how it evolved
into its present day form. The central teachings and practices are set out
clearly, and key topics such as karma and rebirth, meditation, ethics, and
Buddhism in the West, receive detailed coverage in separate chapters. The
distinguishing features of the main schools—such as Tibetan and Zen
Buddhism—are clearly explained.
Capitalism
James Fulcher
The word ‘capitalism’ is one that is heard and used frequently, but what does
the term really mean? James Fulcher addresses this issue using detailed and
absorbing case studies, ranging from the East India Company in the 1600s to
the Barings Bank collapse in 1995. He looks at the different forms that
capitalism takes in Britain, Japan, Sweden, and the United States. He also
discusses the crisis tendencies of capitalism as seen through the tulipomania of
17th-century Holland, the recent South-East Asian banking crisis, and the
Enron/Worldcom crisis in America. The book ends by discussing whether
capitalism is heading for some final crisis, and where alternative systems are to
be found.
43
Democracy
Bernard Crick
No political concept is more used, and misused, than that of democracy. This
book is a short account of the history of the doctrine, practices, and
institutions of democracy, from ancient Greece and Rome through the
American, French, and Russian revolutions, and its varieties and conditions in
the modern world. It argues that democracy is a necessary but not a sufficient
condition for good government, and that ideas of the rule of law, and of
human rights, and the claims and liberties of groups within society must often
limit the will of democratic majorities.
Dreaming
J. Allan Hobson
Focusing on dreaming to explain the mechanisms of sleep and sleep laboratory
science, the author explains the fascinating discoveries of modern sleep
science. In this book he reveals how dreaming maintains and develops the
mind, why we go crazy in our dreams in order to avoid doing so when we are
awake, and why sleep is not just good for health but essential for life.
Emotion
Dylan Evans
Was love invented by European poets in the Middle Ages or is it part of
human nature? Will winning the lottery really make you happy? Is it possible
to build robots that have feelings? These are just some of the intriguing
questions explored in this guide to the latest thinking about emotions.
Drawing on a wide range of scientific research, from anthropology and
psychology to neuroscience and artificial intelligence, this book takes the
reader on a fascinating journey into the human heart.

44
Empire
Stephen Howe
Not only are we living with the legacies of the great colonial empires of the
past, but also with the new economic-based imperial systems of the modern
world. This book looks at what the ‘idea of empire’ has meant throughout
history—from the ancient Roman Empire, through the reign of Genghis Khan,
the British Raj, the colonization of the Americas by the seafaring Spanish, the
Atlantic Slave Trade, and the Soviet Empire, to the present day—disentangling
the multiple uses and abuses of such labels as ‘empire’ and ‘colonial’, and
offering a compelling look at the profound changes in the modern world.
The European Union

John Pinder
This book shows how and why the European Union has developed from 1950
up to the present. He explains the interplay between governments and federal
elements in the institutions; consensus over the single market and the
environment; and conflicts over agriculture, social policies, the Euro, and
frontier controls. He shows how the Union relates to its European neighbours,
the United States, and the rest of the world, and outlines the choices that lie
ahead. He is clear about his federalist orientation, presents the arguments
fairly, and is scrupulous about the facts.
Evolution
Brian and Deborah Charlesworth
This incisive and thought-provoking book introduces some of the most
important findings and concepts of evolutionary biology, such as the formation
and divergence of species, adaptation, mutation, and natural selection. The
authors trace the progress of evolutionary thought from the first publication of
Darwin and Wallace over 140 years ago, to recent evidence provided by
studying evolution at the molecular level. The book ends by showing how
evolutionary ideas illuminate some of the hardest questions in modern biology,
such as why ageing happens and why some animals behave altruistically.

45
Fascism
Kevin Passmore
Kevin Passmore brilliantly unravels the paradoxes of one of the most
important phenomena of the modern world—tracing the origins of fascism in
the intellectual, political, and social crises of the late nineteenth century,
fascist movements and regimes in Italy and Germany, and the fortunes of
‘failed’ fascist movements in Eastern Europe, Spain, and the Americas. He
shows how important racist nationalism was to fascism, examines its appeal to
women and men, workers and capitalists, and concludes with a look at the
recent revival of the extreme right in Europe.
Feminism
Margaret Walters
This book looks at the development of feminism, exploring its earliest roots as
well as key issues such as voting rights, the liberation of the Sixties, and
whether feminist thought remains relevant today. She brings the subject
completely up to date by providing an analysis of the current situation of
women across the globe, from Europe and the US to the Third World.
Globalization
Manfred Steger
‘Globalization’ has become the buzzword of our time—a term that describes a
variety of changing economic, political, cultural, ideological, and
environmental processes that are alleged to have accelerated and intensified in
the last few decades. Manfred Steger presents globalization in accessible
language as a multifaceted process encompassing global, regional, and local
aspects of social life. He explores whether it is a new phenomenon, and if it
should be considered a ‘good’ or ‘bad’ thing—a question that has been hotly
debated in classrooms, boardrooms, and on the streets—especially since the
9/11 terrorist attacks.

46
Global Warming
Mark Maslin
This is an up-to-date and readable book about the predicted impacts of global
warming and the surprises that could be in store for us in the near future. It
unpacks the controversies that surround global warming, drawing on material
from the recent report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
(IPCC). The author presents the findings of the Panel for the first time and
discusses the potential climate surprises which the IPCC has not yet had time
to assimilate. He ends by discussing the politics of global warming, and looks
at what we can do now to adapt to climate change and mitigate its worst
effects.
Linguistics
P. H. Matthews
Linguistics falls between arts and science, where the most fascinating
discoveries and the most important problems are found. Peter Matthews
begins his discussion with the oldest, ‘arts’ end of the subject and moves
chronologically through to the latest in scientific research. He looks in turn at
such areas as the prehistory of languages and their common origins, language
and evolution, the nature of change inherent in language, grammars and
dictionaries, and phonetics. An appraisal of the latest research into language
in neuro-science completes this refreshing and insightful introduction to
linguistics.
Literary Theory
Jonathan Culler
Literary Theory is a controversial subject. Said to have transformed the study
of culture and society in the past two decades, it is accused of undermining
respect for tradition and truth, encouraging suspicion about the political and
psychological implications of cultural products rather than admiration for
great literature. In this book, Jonathan Culler explains ‘theory’, not by
describing warring ‘schools’ but by sketching key ‘moves’ that theory has
encouraged and speaking directly about the implications of theory for
thinking about literature, human identity, and the power of language.

47
Logic
Graham Priest
Logic is often perceived as an esoteric subject, having little to do with the rest
of philosophy, and even less to do with real life. In this lively and accessible
introduction, Graham Priest shows how wrong this conception is. He explores
the philosophical roots of the subject, explaining how modern formal logic
deals with issues ranging from the existence of God and the reality of time to
paradoxes of self-reference, change, and probability. Along the way, the book
explains the basic ideas of formal logic in simple, non-technical terms, as well
as the philosophical pressures to which these have responded. This is a book
for anyone who has ever been puzzled by a piece of reasoning.
Machiavelli
Quentin Skinner
Niccolo Machiavelli taught that political leaders must be prepared to do evil
that good may come of it, and his name has been a byword ever since for
duplicity and immorality. Is his sinister reputation deserved? In answering this
question Quentin Skinner focuses on three major works, The Prince, the
Discourses, and The History of Florence, and distils from them an introduction
to Machiavelli’s doctrines of exemplary clarity.
Nationalism
Steven Grosby
In this compelling book, Steven Grosby uses examples throughout history,
from ancient Israel to the present-day Balkans, to discuss how nations arise
from a sense of kinship, territory, history, and shared religion. Highlighting
the social, philosophical, and anthropological perspectives, he asks why
nations exist, when they first appeared, and what this divisiveness can tell us
about our nature as human beings.

48
Philosophy
Edward Craig
This lively and engaging book is the ideal introduction for anyone who has
ever been puzzled by what philosophy is or what it is for. Edward Craig argues
that philosophy is not an activity from another planet: learning about it is just
a matter of broadening and deepening what most of us do already. He shows
that philosophy is no mere intellectual pastime: thinkers such as Plato,
Buddhist writers, Descartes, Hobbes, Hume, Hegel, Darwin, Mill, and de
Beauvoir were responding to real needs and events—much of their work
shapes our lives today, and many of their concerns are still ours.
Politics
Kenneth Minogue
In this provocative but balanced essay, Kenneth Minogue discusses the
development of politics from the ancient world to the twentieth century. He
prompts us to consider why political systems evolve, how politics offers both
power and order in our society, whether democracy is always a good thing,
and what future politics may have in the twenty-first century.
Postcolonialism
Robert J. C. Young
This innovative and lively book is quite unlike any other introduction to
postcolonialism. Robert Young examines the political, social and cultural
after-effects of decolonization by presenting situations, experiences, and
testimony rather than examining the abstract theory. He situates the debate in
a wide cultural context, discussing its importance as an historical condition,
using examples such as the status of aboriginal people, of those dispossessed
from their land, Algerian rai music, postcolonial feminism and global, social
and ecological movements.

49
Prehistory
Chris Gosden
Many of the familiar aspects of modern life are no more than a century or two
old, yet our deep social structures and skills were in large measure developed
by small bands of our prehistoric ancestors many millennia ago. We all have
our prehistories, even in this best documented of all centuries, and they are
vital to our emotional, intellectual and social well-being. The book compels
one to think seriously about who we are by considering who we have been,
presenting a riveting and absorbing exploration through four and a half
million years of human existence.
Psychology
Gillian Butler and Freda McManus
This book provides an up-to-date overview of the main areas of psychology,
translating complex psychological matters, such as perception, into readable
topics so as to make psychology accessible for newcomers to the subject. The
authors use everyday examples as well as research findings to foster curiosity
about how and why the mind works in the way it does, and why we behave in
the ways that we do. This book explains why knowing about psychology is
important and relevant in the modern world.
Quantum Theory
John Polkinghorne
Quantum Theory is the most revolutionary discovery in physics since Newton.
In simple, non-mathematical language this book unravels the strange and
exciting ideas that make the subatomic world so different from the world of
the every day. The author lucidly discusses such topics as uncertainty,
unpredictability, wave/particle duality, the unresolved problem of
measurement, demystifying one of the greatest discoveries in the history of
physics and one of the outstanding intellectual achievements of the twentieth
century.

Shakespeare
Germaine Greer
In this book Germaine Greer explores Shakespeare as a thinker, unravelling
the methods he used to dramatize moral and intellectual issues in a way that
made his audience dazzlingly aware of an imaginative dimension to daily life.
She argues that as long as Shakespeare’s work remains essential to the English-
speaking world, it will retain the values which make it unique.
Socialism
Michael Newman
Michael Newman examines and explains the successes and failures of modern
socialism by taking an international perspective—ranging from communism
in Cuba to social democracy in Sweden. Discussing its evolution from the
industrial towns of the 19th century to its response to the feminist, Green, and
anti-capitalist movements today, Newman concludes that, with its values of
equality, solidarity, and cooperation, socialism remains as relevant as ever but
that it needs to learn lessons from the past.
Sociology
Steve Bruce
Drawing on studies of social class, crime and deviance, work in bureaucracies,
and changes in religious and political organizations, this book explores the
tension between the individual’s role in society and society’s role in shaping
the individual, and demonstrates the value of sociology as a perspective for
understanding the modern world.

51
Socrates
C. C. W. Taylor
Socrates has a unique position in the history of philosophy and had it not been
for his influence on Plato, the whole development of Western philosophy might
have been unimaginably different. Yet Socrates wrote nothing himself, and our
knowledge of him is derived primarily from the engaging and infuriating
figure who appears in Plato’s dialogues. This book explores the relationship
between the historical Socrates and the Platonic character, and examines the
enduring image of Socrates as the ideal exemplar of the philosophic life; a
thinker whose moral and intellectual integrity permeated every detail of his
life, even in the face of betrayal and execution by his fellow Athenians.
Terrorism
Charles Townshend
Is one person’s terrorist another’s freedom fighter? Is terrorism crime or war?
Can there be a ‘war against terrorism’? This book charts a clear path through
the efforts to understand and explain modern terrorism. It unravels complex
questions such as: Are terrorists criminals? How far does media publicity
sustain terrorism? What can be done about it? It also examines the historical,
ideological, and local roots of terrorist violence, and the success of specific
terrorist and anti-terrorist campaigns in the more distant, as well as the recent
past.
World Music
Philip V. Bohlman
In this fascinating introduction to the remarkable diversity of world music,
Bohlman explores the interpretation and, sometimes, misinterpretation of
world music by the West. More recent musical encounters in the nineteenth
and twentieth centuries, such as international festivals and world fairs, reveal
the enduring fascination with ethnic diversity. World music’s invention and
growth, as well as concerns for its ‘authenticity’ and ‘universality’, are explored
through scrutinizing a selection of music cultures and events such as the
Grammy Awards and the Eurovision Song Contest, as well as through
examining such musicians as Bob Marley, Manu Dibango, Béla Bartók, the
Chieftains, and Leadbelly.

The World Trade Organization

Amrita Narlikar
This book provides a timely exploration of what the WTO is, what it does, and

the controversy surrounding the WTO head on, the author highlights issues of

whether it actually deserves the reputation it has come to acquire.

Karakoram in Transition
Culture, Development, and Ecology in the Hunza Valley
Edited by Hermann Kreutzmann
The impact of global change and societal transitions are addressed in this book
in which for the first time eminent scholars from a wide set of disciplines
cooperate in an international effort to combine the state-of-the-art research
results about the Hunza Valley. The academic interest in different aspects of
the Valley, like its culture, ecology, economy, and development, has been the
starting point for presenting the Hunza Valley as an example of high

development can be derived.
The Politics of Managing Water

Edited by Kaiser Bengali
Water is the scarcest natural resource today and would become the main cause
of contention in the twenty-first century. Although Pakistan is not a water-
stressed country by hydraulic definitions, yet the question of water distribution
has, for Pakistan, become the source of wide-ranging contention both within
the country and with its immediate neighbour to the east. In this volume
experts from various fields discuss all factors—scientific, engineering, social,
and economic—pertaining to the debate.

Ayesha Siddiqa
This book analyzes the relationship between the military’s corporate
operations and its authoritarianism in Pakistan. These operations vary from
large manufacturing units to smaller ventures such as bakeries and gas
stations. The common factor amongst all these operations is the lack of
transparency. This book fi lls a theoretical gap and provides a comprehensive
analysis of Pakistan military’s business expansion, especially in the last five
years, and its impact on politics, economics, and the military profession.
Initiating Devolution for Service Delivery in

Pakistan
Ignoring the Power Structure
Shahrukh Rafi Khan, Foqia Sadiq Khan, and Aasim Sajjad Akhtar
This book is about initiating devolution and demonstrates that reforms will be
ineffective or subverted unless it addresses key pre-requisites. The most
important pre-requisite is addressing the power structure in the context in
which devolution is to be introduced. This is an important book not only
because of conceptual contributions but also because the authors were actually
involved in the initiation and implementation of the devolution plan in
Pakistan at the highest policy level. This enabled the documentation of how
and where the plan was inadequate from conception to execution.
Islam and the Economy of Pakistan

A Critical Analysis of Traditional Interpretation
Izzud-Din Pal
The book critically examines the question of the ideology of Pakistan and the
related claim concerning Islam as a system. The author attempts to discuss the
issue in the context of the economy of Pakistan and argues in favour of
renewed efforts towards the reconstruction of Islamic thought to meet the
challenge of modernity in the area of economic policy.

From Exxon to Engro

Shaukat Raza Mirza
This book was written with the aim of providing some insights into the
process of the buy-out of Exxon Chemical Pakistan Ltd. Readers are gripped
by corporate drama as the story of the buy-out unfolds. Shaukat Mirza relates
the discussions, the decisions and the challenges he faced on the route to
ultimate success. He talks about the individuals involved and the constraints
he encountered, as well as personal joys and disappointments. This is not only
a book about Pakistan’s first employee buy-out, it is also a book about one

buy-out—Shaukat Raza Mirza.
Hazardous Home-based Sub-contracted Work

A Study of Multiple Tiered Exploitation
Shahrukh Rafi Khan, Saba Gul Khattak, and Sajid Kazmi
This book investigates the various dimensions of exploitation of sub-contracted
home-based workers engaged in hazardous work. It explores the exploitation
of children, particularly girls, and women in the household, the exploitation of
workers by the sub-contractors, and syphoning of surplus abroad along the
value chain. There is a particular focus on the negative health impacts of such
work and on public policies that can bring about a positive change.

The Politics of Islamic Finance

Edited by Clement M. Henry and Rodney Wilson
In the wake of the terrorist attacks on America, the UN Security Council
passed a resolution targeting transnational sources of terrorist funds. The
United States and the IMF are encouraging the governments of the Middle
East to adopt policies of economic liberalism. One unexpected consequence is
that a new type of capitalism, based on Islamic values and beliefs is emerging.
This book explores the political implications of the slow but steady
accumulation of Islamic capital and demonstrates that the commonly
perceived connection between Islamic finance and money laundering and
terrorism is simplistic and misleading.

A Case Study of the Punjab
Ayaz Muhammad
Local government is an essential component of any political system. This book
carries a huge data of local government’s income, expenditure, grants, etc.,

comprehensive and viable structure of local government. This structure must
have the capacity to work as an agent of economic development, to ensure
devolution of power, and to work as an agency to help in the fair distribution of

Edited by Rashida Qureshi and Jane F. A. Rarieya
This book explores gender and education in Pakistan by looking at the
underlying processes that result in different patterns of educational
experiences of and outcomes for females and males. All the chapters are based
on research studies that were conducted in different parts of Pakistan and
explore diverse aspects of gender in relation to education. The book makes
gender issues in education in Pakistan more visible by illustrating how gender
is both a very personal and yet, public issue, and calls for more carefully
thought out approaches to dealing with gender disadvantage in the education
system.

Transforming Schools in Pakistan

Towards the Learning Community
Edited by John Retallick and Iffat Farah
This book aims to answer a very pertinent question: is it possible to improve
the quality of school education in Pakistan and other developing countries?
The book argues that it is possible and endeavours to point the way forward.
The crux of the argument is that schools need to be transformed into learning
communities if significant improvement is to take place. In a traditional school
only students are considered learners and most learning is by rote. A learning
community is a school where all participants are learners, not just the
students. School becomes a place where understanding, enquiry and
questioning are encouraged in all teaching and learning encounters.

An Indian Passage to Europe
The Travels of Fath Nawaz Jang

Between 1600–1900, several thousand Indians of different social classes
travelled to Britain. Yet compared to the large number of travelogues and
memoirs written by Europeans who visited India during this period only a
handful of Indian accounts of Britain and Europe have come to light. One of
them is by Mahdi Hasan Khan Fath Nawaz Jang, (1852–1904), a Hyderabadi
civil servant of Lucknow origin. His fascinating observations of the British and
European society are among a mere handful of available Indian
representations of Europeans in the nineteenth century.

British Relations with Sind, 1799–1843

An Anatomy of Imperialism
Robert A. Huttenback
Huttenback’s study of British relations with an independent Sindh from 1799
to 1843 provides valuable insight into the complexities of nineteenth-century
British imperialism. Here is a thorough investigation of British activities in
Sindh after 1799, the actual conquest, and subsequent repercussions.
Huttenback presents the whole scope of British relations with Sindh during
this critical period without sacrificing the pre-annexation issues to the
circumstances surrounding Sir Charles Napier and the conquest.
Shameful Flight
The Last Years of the British Empire in India
Stanley Wolpert
Ranging from the fall of Singapore in 1942 to the assassination of Mahatma
Gandhi in 1948, this book provides a vivid behind-the-scenes look at Britain’s
decision to divest itself from the crown jewel of its empire. The author, a
leading authority on Indian history, paints memorable portraits of all the key
participants including Gandhi, Churchill, Attlee, Nehru, and Jinnah, with a
special focus on the British viceroy, Lord Louis Mountbatten.
McMurdo’s Account of Sind

James McMurdo
This book provides readers with a vivid picture of how South Asians were
perceived by many in Britain in the mid-nineteenth century, as well as of life
in Sindh under the Amirs, rulers of the region at that time. McMurdo’s
description indicates the bias and prejudice of an imperialist viewpoint and
the political ramifications of such perceptions. At the time of Charles Napier’s
conquest of Sindh in 1843, the British government launched an adverse
propaganda campaign aimed at depicting the Amirs as being incapable of
looking after their own territories. This account can be counted as a part of
this campaign. The book reflects the broad political canvas of that time and
prepares the backdrop for the eventual conquest of Sindh.

the moves and counter moves, interactions and maneuvering between a range
of characters, against the backdrop of momentous events and developments of

The British Raj in India

An Historical Review
This treatise on the Raj perceptively reviews the roles played by the three
principle parties in the transfer of power: the British, the Hindus, and the
Muslims. The British conquered and ruled India with the help of Indians, but
when the weight of public opinion made it impossible for them to stay any
longer, they managed to extricate themselves from the chaos with remarkable
political dexterity. The Hindus with the lead in Western education and
numerical and economic superiority, lost the bid for a united India because they
overplayed their hand. The Muslims, demoralized and discredited by the British
after 1857, had a hard time convincing the world that unmodified Westminster
parliamentary institutions would install the Hindus as their masters for all time.
Divided Cities
Partition and its Aftermath in Lahore and Amritsar, 1947–1957
Ian Talbot
This book is a pioneering locality based study of the processes of violence,

that were divided by the new international boundary which ran through the
Punjab. The book provides a much needed comparative dimension to the study
of the aftermath of Partition. It is an important case study for wider issues of
collective violence, forced migration, and refugee experience.

Edited and Introduced by Robert Nichols
Those hoping to fully understand the fighting in 2004 around Wana in South
Waziristan will gain insight from this book. Throughout 2004, Pakistan used
political negotiation and military force to crush or disperse militants,
especially near the town of Wana. This short volume reprints two, one-
hundred-year old colonial reports on FATA regions, one on Wana and one on
the Adam Khel Afridi homelands near Peshawar. These reports suggest the
difficulty that state builders with centralizing ambitions have always had in
prevailing against semi-independent communities yet to be fully integrated
into wider political, economic and administrative systems.
Partition of India
Legend and Reality
H. M. Seervai
This book gives an in-depth historical analysis of the events and causes that

research undertaken by the author over a period of several years and includes
data based on the 12 volumes of official documents published under the title
Transfer of Power, 1942–47. The thesis of the book is that Gandhi, Nehru, and
the Congress leadership were primarily responsible for the decisions leading to
the partition of India and exposes the myth that Jinnah was solely responsible
for the Partition.
Kashmir and the British Raj, 1847–1947

Robert A. Huttenback
This book highlights the unique history of the only significant area of Indo-

Impact on Fourteenth Century Muslim Society
Riazul Islam
Sufism in India has played many roles in Indo-Muslim history. It was the
means by which a race of conquerors could reach out to the spiritual elements

for initiating dialogue with Hindu devotees. Riazul Islam in this book focuses
more on the seamy rather than the spiritual side in order to redress the

Mukulika Banerjee
This book covers the historical Khudai Khidmatgar movement, a non-violent

derives its authority directly from the person of the Prophet (pbuh) and which
therefore enjoys divine sanction in deciding all cases of conscience.

H. V. Hodson
On 14 August 1947, the new nation of Pakistan was carved out of the body of

author asks some penetrating questions: Why did the climax come so swift ly?
What is the truth about the enforced resignation of the previous viceroy, Lord
Wavell, and Lord Mountbatten’s appointment and instructions? Hodson charts
the events since Partition—the triumphs and tragedies, the issues of peace and
conflict between India and Pakistan, culminating in the truncation of Pakistan

negotiations show how both countries must exert robust, creative, and
enduring leadership to achieve concrete, broad-based improvement in their

Islam in the European Union

Transnationalism, Youth and the War on Terror

This book is about Muslims in Europe and the ‘War on Terror’: its causes and

challenged in this collection from a varied and multinational perspective. The

South Asia in World Politics

Edited by Devin T. Hagerty
This book offers a comprehensive introduction to the politics and international
relations of South Asia, a key area encompassing the states of Afghanistan,
Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, the Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka.
Exploring the many facets of this dynamic region, the book also assesses U.S.
policy towards Afghanistan and explains the importance of Bangladesh and
Pakistan, two of only a handful of Islamic states with significant track records
as democracies.
The Selected Writings of Eqbal Ahmad

Edited by Carollee Bengelsdorf, Margaret Cerullo, and Yogesh Chandrani
Foreword by Noam Chomsky
The book has a series of themes beginning with the revolutionary theory and
counter-insurgency, moving on to the analysis of post-colonial states in the
Third World, the Cold War and its aftermath, and finally the Middle Eastern
and South Asian impasses and hopes. Eqbal Ahmad’s rendition of these events
benefits not only from his keen analytical faculties, broad knowledge, and
many years of direct engagement, but also from his ability to observe these
developments from a perspective that integrates his deep immersion in the
culture, history, and experiences of both the North and the South.
Kashmir in Comparative Perspective

Democracy and Violent Separatism in India
Sten Widmalm
Foreword by Ian Talbot
In this balanced, carefully researched and well designed account of the
Kashmir crisis, Sten Widmalm argues that ethnic violence is not an objective
force with self-generating political consequences but a means by which
competing elites carry on political struggle. The strength of the book is that it
engages alternative explanations of ethnic conflict even as it teaches the
particularity of specific cases in India.

75
Jihad, Hindutva and the Taliban
South Asia at the Crossroads
Iftikhar H. Malik
This book explores significant developments in recent years that have
completely transformed the South Asian political contours, including crucial
societal movements such as Talibanization, Jihad, Hindutva, Sunni statism etc.
These new trajectories have equally generated intra-society chasms, especially
for ethnic and religious minorities, and have tried to offer alternative
interpretations of national identity, occasionally advocating a forceful ethno-
religious conformity. While ‘indigenous’ elite led these ultra right, populist
movements, the foot soldiers are all trained in madrassas or temples
harbouring an emotional hatred for an invisible enemy.
Crescent Between Cross and Star

Muslims and the West after 9/11
Iftikhar H. Malik
Tragic events like 9/11 have only intensified anti-Muslim campaigns at various
levels and places. Other than the devastating invasions of Afghanistan and
Iraq with more feared to come, Muslim human rights and their religious
heritage have come under an assault in the Holy Land and several other
regions. This book seeks to place this volatile and pernicious phase within the
historical and geo-political context by reviewing Western scholarship and
policies affecting Muslims at large. In addition, it seeks to investigate diverse
Muslim responses on vital issues such as gender, secularism, and democracy.
East Pakistan: The Endgame

An Onlooker’s Journal, 1969–1971
Brigadier A. R. Siddiqi
The 1971 East Pakistan tragedy was not just a failure of the military but also
the collapse of the civil society in West Pakistan. The few voices raised against
the military action were too feeble to make the army change the course it had
set itself leading to a military defeat and the break-up of the country. The
author’s assessments and forecasting of happenings in East Pakistan are
objective, constructive and without any prejudice or bias. This book will
contribute much towards the much-needed bridge building between Pakistan
and Bangladesh.

76
Terrorism and Global Power Systems

Shahwar Junaid
This book discusses the origins of terrorism and the use of violence as a tool
for political, social, and economic change by various forces within society and
throughout the world. The author draws upon historical trends as well as
rising terrorist activity in the world since 1980. She also examines global
power systems, including international security systems to understand how
terrorism operates in the current environment.
Danger in Kashmir
Josef Korbel
Foreword by C. W. Nimitz
Perhaps the most important problem plaguing India and Pakistan today is
their dispute over the ownership of the State of Jammu and Kashmir. Initial
efforts were made in 1948 by the United Nations to seek a peaceful solution to
the dispute. The author was a member of the UN Commission on India and
Pakistan, and provides a first-hand account of these efforts of the United
Nations to resolve the Kashmir issue.
Kashmir
Ethnic Conflict, International Dispute
Iffat Malik
The Kashmir crisis is more than fift y years old, and as it is an internationally
explosive issue, the literature on the topic is also voluminous, projecting the
views of both sides as well as impartial world bodies and authors. Dr Iffat
Sanna Malik has made an objective study and dealt with the domestic and
international aspects—first separately and then in unison. Original in its
treatment, this treatise is heavily documented and should be of use to scholars
and general readers alike.

Pakistan and the Afghan Conflict, 1979–1985

With an Afterword Covering Events From 1985–2001
Frederic Grare
As the war against terrorism rages in Afghanistan, this book probes the
motives governing the first Pakistan-American alliance, directed then against
the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. This study covers the Afghan conflict
from 1979 to 1985, and considers centrally the security concerns of Pakistan
during the conflict. The author’s discussion encompasses the strategic concerns
of a nuclearized South Asia and provides a key to the origins of the 2001
Afghan conflict.

powerful writing, and principled and passionate commitments on the
problems and prospects of the Third World, especially those of South Asia.
Selected from more than thirty years of writing, this volume brings together

The Politics of Knowledge in Pre-modern Islam
Negotiating Ideology and Religious Inquiry
Omid Safi
The eleventh and twelft h centuries were a period of great significance in
Islamic history when the Great Saljuqs, a Turkish-speaking tribe from central
Asia, ruled the eastern half of the Islamic world for a great portion of that
time. In a far-reaching analysis that combines social, cultural, and political
history, Omid Safi demonstrates how the Saljuqs tried to create a lasting
political presence by joining forces with scholars and saints who functioned
under state patronage. He makes a significant contribution to understanding
premodern Islam as well as illuminating the complex relationship between
power and religious knowledge.
Islamic Legal Interpretation

Muftis and their Fatwas
Edited by Muhammad Khalid Masud, Brinkley Messick, and David S. Powers
For more than a millennium, fatwas have guided and shaped Muslim under-
standings of Islamic law yet this key institution in Muslim society has not been
the subject of a major examination until now. Fatwas have served to reaffirm
received wisdom, caution against error, and chart novel responses to changing
circumstances. This book uses an approach unique in Islamic studies, a
casebook of expert analyses of fatwas from a wide range of times and places. The
first chapter sets forth the origins, classical diversity, and modern development
of the fatwa, while the following chapters illustrate particular opinions and their
contexts.

of Islam, John L. Esposito, The Oxford Dictionary of Islam offers a wealth of
information for anyone curious about this burgeoning and increasingly
important world religion.

The History of Islamic Political Thought

From the Prophet (PBUH) to the Present
Antony Black
This book provides a complete history of Islamic political thought from early
Islam to the age of Fundamentalism covering a broad range of subjects
including Religion and State power, Greco-Arabic philosophy, the politics of
Shi’ism and Sufism, and the age of Modernism. Moreover, the author
examines the political cultures of the dynasties of the Saljuks, Ottomans, and
Mughals.
The Ulama in Contemporary Islam

Custodians of Change
Muhammad Qasim Zaman
This book offers the first sustained comparative perspectives on the ulama and
their increasingly crucial religious and political activism. It shows how issues
of religious authority are debated in contemporary Islam, how Islamic law and
tradition are continuously negotiated in a rapidly changing world, and how the
ulama both react to and shape larger Islamic social trends.

The Political Language of Islam

Bernard Lewis
This book by Bernard Lewis, who is an eminent authority on Islamic Studies,
traces the development of Islamic political language from the time of the
Prophet to the present day through literary and historical sources. It deals
with the core political concepts of Islam that are so relevant to the modern
world. The main part of this book is based on the lectures sponsored by the
Exxon Foundation and the Committee on Social Thought of the University of
Chicago.

Muslim Conceptions of Islam and Society
Riaz Hassan
This book explores key aspects of Muslim religious and social consciousness in
Islamic societies. The analysis is based on interviews of 4,500 Muslims from
Indonesia, Pakistan, Kazakhstan and Egypt. The study breaks new ground in
exploring the relationship between religion and politics, and Muslim attitudes
towards political Islam, gender roles, veiling, and patriarchy. This study
challenges the perception of Islam as an essentialist, monolithic and static
phenomenon.
Enemy in the Mirror

Islamic Fundamentalism and the Limits of Modern Rationalism:
A Work of Comparative Political Theory
Roxanne L. Euben
The author has convincingly argued that political Islam cannot be understood
by looking at its outer expression only, rather, in order to comprehend the
phenomenon, an inquiry into its inner meaning is necessary. The book
highlights the philosophical and constructive aspects of Islamic
fundamentalism in a world that is getting denuded of any solid foundation for
moral values.

Ali Amjad
Foreword by Justice (Retd) Fakhruddin G. Ebrahim
This is a pioneering work on labour legislation in South Asia. The author
traces labour legislation from the inception of the British rule and comes down
to contemporary issues. Brevity of style and expanse of subject matter have
been achieved, as expected of a veteran trial lawyer, making this book equally
interesting to lawyers, political scientists, sociologists, and human rights

Breaking Links
A Translation of Sadiyon ki Zanjeer
Razia Fasih Ahmad
Introduction by Asif Farrukhi
A compelling tale of love gone awry through a grievous sense of ‘honour’
reaching out across generations, this is a novel about the unhappy state of
Pakistan in and around 1971. The story is set in a time when the two unequal
and distant ‘wings’, of the relatively young nation-state, had been slowly but
steadily drift ing away from each other, to finally break apart with a vengeance
and untold violence. This breaking apart is at the centre of this novel, and the
story is built around the looming crisis and the final hour of disintegration
and dissolution.
And the World Changed

Contemporary Stories by Pakistani Women
Edited by Muneeza Shamsie
This pioneering work presents a collection of contemporary English language
stories by women of Pakistani origin. There is new fiction by well-known
writers such as Rukhsana Ahmad, Tahira Naqvi, Fahmida Riaz, and Kamila
Shamsie, as well as extracts from the novels of Uzma Aslam Khan, Feryal Ali
Gauhar, Bapsi Sidhwa and the memoirs of Sara Suleri. Over twenty women
writers are represented. Their work has great diversity but is united by their
sensibilities and experiences as women of Pakistani origin. The stories take the
reader from New York on 9/11, to the villages of Pakistan and explore a host of
issues ranging from gender, war, and identity to age-old social customs and
attitudes which shape their inner worlds.
Water: A Novel
Bapsi Sidhwa
Set in India in 1938, against the backdrop of Mahatma Gandhi’s rise to power,
Water follows the life of eight-year-old Chuyia, a child-bride who is abandoned
at a widows’ ashram in Benares after her fift y-year-old husband dies. Unwilling
to accept her fate, Chuyia becomes a catalyst for change in the lives of the
widows. Sidhwa’s sensitive storytelling makes this a novel rich with
unforgettable characters. Water offers a riveting examination of the lives of
widows in colonial India but ultimately it is a haunting and lyrical story of
love, faith, and redemption.

of interest to the academics interested in modern Afghan studies as well as

Paradise of the Assassins

Abdul Halim Sharar
Translated by Tariq Mahmud
Sharar’s two fictitious characters find themselves on a fearsome page of
historical truth. They walk into the clutches of the Assassins—people who can
leap to their death at a sign from their masters, and believe that they are
headed for paradise. Firdaus-e-Bareen, of which this book is a translation, is
the best-known work of an outstanding Urdu writer, who could hardly have
guessed how interesting and relevant his novel would sound in the twenty-first
century, more than a hundred years after he wrote it.

characters in Naz’s stories reflect her own pathologies as she tries to come to
terms with her experiences. The subject matter is serious but has been dealt
with subtly, in a rather light-hearted manner.

and ethnic violence and their relationship stands poised between strained

Salt and Saffron

Kamila Shamsie
Aristocratic and eccentric, the Dard-e-Dil clan has plenty of stories to tell, and

‘not-quite twin’ cosmically connected with her aunt Mariam. Mariam Apa
mysteriously arrives on the day Aliya is born and never utters a single word,
except to dictate the daily menu to Masood the family cook. Food and love
collide in the family. Spanning the subcontinent from the Muslim invasions to
Partition, this is a magical novel about the shapes stories can take—turning
into myths, appearing in history books, and entering our lives.

wrote literary criticism and articles on culture in both Urdu and English.
Some of his articles in this volume spell out the writer’s well-known
predilection for the progressive canons of literature. Articles on Amir
Khusrau, Ghalib, Tolstoy, Iqbal, and Sadequain figure prominently in the
collection as ‘applied criticism’. This volume is not only invaluable for
shedding light on the literary proclivities of Faiz but also stands on its own as
a very candid and original exposition of Pakistani culture and thought.

history peopled by ustads, pandits, the rich and the famous, and the sacred

the courts of ancient emperors. He points to the time when notation crept into
classical music, resulting in the preservation of ragas that would otherwise
have been lost to time.

Qureshi comes with a unique set of tools to bear on this study. An
anthropologist who has conservatory credentials in Western music, many
years of training in Indian music, and complete fluency in Urdu, Qureshi
conducted extensive fieldwork for this study in both Pakistan and India,
visiting a number of important shrines, and recording numerous Qawwali
performances, lessons, interviews, and conversations.

Life after Partition
Migration, Community and Strife in Sindh, 1947–1962
Sarah Ansari
By the 1990s, ethnic politics had come to dominate Sindh, with calls for
Karachi to become a fift h province in its own right. This book examines the
historical background to these developments by focusing on events in the
province in the years immediately following Partition, when migrants from
India and local people in Sindh found themselves living alongside each other
in the newly created state of Pakistan. How far they retained distinctive
notions of community and identity, and what its impact was on processes of
accommodation and integration, forms the main focus of this study of life in
Sindh between 1947 and 1962.

Shahid M. Amin
This book is a penetrative analysis of Pakistan’s foreign policy from the time of

emphasis on Pakistan-India relations vis-a-vis Kashmir and suggests various
policy options and their possible consequences for Pakistan.

Renowned historian Craig Baxter and a team of specialists scrutinize many
aspects of Pakistan’s foreign policy, including its evolving relations with the
United States, and its domestic policies such as its developing economy,
controversial election process, education system, and local government. This

Pakistan in the Twentieth Century

A Political History
Lawrence Ziring
The fift ieth anniversary of Pakistan’s independence was a time for stock-
taking. Ushered in amidst great hope and unprecedented bloodshed, Pakistan
has seemingly lurched from crisis to crisis as its politicians and leaders
searched for solutions to its myriad of problems. Has the vision that was
Pakistan measured up to reality? In this well-researched, analytical account,
Lawrence Ziring looks at the path Pakistan has taken, what it has achieved,
and provides some thoughts on the future course and direction of the nation.

Foreword by S. M. Zafar
In this book, Lt.-Gen. Jahan Dad Khan intersperses the account of his gradual
upward progress in his army career with detailed studies of five principal
players in national affairs who, between them, decided Pakistan’s fate for three
decades. His analytical study of these personalities—which touches upon their
background, style of governance, and their role in national affairs—sheds a
new light on the men that mattered.
The Betrayal of East Pakistan

In December 1971, one of Pakistan’s most decorated officers, Lt.-Gen. A. A. K.
Niazi, laid down arms before the invading Indian Army, leading to the
dismember-ment of Pakistan. Was ‘Tiger’ Niazi a coward, a hero, or the victim
of unjust fate? In this candid account, General Niazi volunteers to disclose his
own version of the events and also gives his views on the Hamood-ur-Rahman
Commission Report.

PHILOSOPHY

Alfarabi was among the first to explore the tensions between the philosophy of
classical Greece and that of Islam. His writings, extraordinary in their breadth
and deep learning, have had a profound impact on Islamic and Jewish
philosophy. This book presents four of Alfarabi’s most important texts, making
his political thought available to classicists, medievalists, and scholars of
religion and Byzantine and Middle Eastern studies.
(Studies in Islamic Philosophy)

Alfarabi and the Foundation of Islamic Political

Philosophy
Muhsin S. Mahdi
Foreword by Charles E. Butterworth
Muhsin Mahdi distills more than four decades of research to offer an
authoritative analysis of the work of Alfarabi, the founder of Islamic political
philosophy. Mahdi presents this great thinker as a philosopher who sought to
lay the foundations for a new understanding of revealed religion and its
relation to the tradition of political philosophy. Mahdi presents a discussion of
Islamic philosophy and its historical background and also gives an
introduction to the interrelated spheres of philosophy, political thought,
theology, and jurisprudence within medieval Islam at the time of Alfarabi.
Ghazali and the Poetics of Imagination

Ebrahim Moosa
A great deal of work has been published on Ghazali, a twelft h century Muslim
theologian and legal and ethical thinker, in the English language, but no one
has done what Ebrahim Moosa has accomplished: both to historicize and then
to analyse Ghazali as a source of creative cross-pollination between medieval
and modern Muslim religious thoughts. Moosa intends the book to be a
journey of engagement with Ghazali in order to improve our understanding of
the past and the future of Islam on the world stage. One of the author’s aims
in doing this is to illuminate Ghazali’s creativity and imagination and to
encourage contemporary scholars of Islam to draw inspiration from its most
illustrious historical interpreter.

On the Boundaries of Theological Tolerance in
Islam
Abu Hamid al Ghazali’s Faysal al Tafriqa
Sherman A. Jackson
This is a highly readable, annotated translation of Ghazali’s Faysal al Tafriqa.
Abu Hamid al Ghazali, arguably one of the most famous Muslim intellectuals
in the history of Islam, set out to provide a legally sanitized definition of
Unbelief (kufr) as the basis for a criterion for determining who, as far as
theology is concerned, is to be considered a Muslim and who is not. The
translation is preceded by an extensive commentary in which the author
reconstructs the historical and theoretical context of the Faysal and discusses
its relevance for contemporary thought and practice.

A Certain Season
M. Athar Tahir
Eloquently negotiating his course through a network of travellers’ tales and

historical folkloric narratives, the poet is keenly sensitive to twists of humour

is thoughtful, confident, strong yet vulnerable, indicating fresh possibilities for
Pakistani poetry in English.

Body Loom
M. Athar Tahir
Athar Tahir in his latest collection of verse weaves together skeins of thought,

verse ranging from the genuinely inspired to the fresh. A strand which runs in
and out of this tapestry is the theme of being, becoming and attaining identity.
The images and symbols used succeed in imparting a unique and distinct
character to the work. Whether metaphysical, descriptive or lyrical in
character, the poems are reflective of a thoughtful and observing mind and
proclaim Athar Tahir as one of the finest Pakistani poets writing in English.

Democratization in Pakistan
A Study of the 2002 Elections
Mohammad Waseem
This book is essential reading for understanding the process of
democratization in Pakistan under General Pervez Musharraf. The book is
divided into three parts: the pre-election institutional, constitutional and
political changes; the 2002 election dynamics based on party activity and
campaign issues; and the post-election process of government formation in the
Centre and Provinces.
We’ve Learnt Nothing from History

Pakistan: Politics and Military Power
M. Asghar Khan
The book focuses on the early entry of Pakistan’s armed forces into the
country’s politics and the struggle for the restoration of democracy from 1968
onwards. The author played an important role in this struggle, leading a
movement against Ayub Khan that resulted in his ouster, and later, opposing
Yahya Khan when he refused to hand over power to Sheikh Mujibur Rahman
and the Awami League after they won a clear majority in the 1970 elections. In
addition, the author reviews the events that led to the re-entry, in 1999, of the
armed forces into politics after a short and turbulent period of ‘democracy’,
and provides some insights into possible political developments in Pakistan in
the future.

Vol. 1: Class Struggles in East Pakistan (1947–1958)
Badruddin Umar
This book provides a fresh account, from a people’s perspective of the political
struggles of East Pakistan, which culminated in the emergence of an
independent Bangladesh. The study draws upon original documents as well as
the personal experience of the author who was directly involved in these
struggles.

POLITICS
112

Vol. 2: Rise of Bengali Nationalism (1958–1971)
Badruddin Umar
The saga of the birth of Bangladesh continues with Volume 2 of The Emergence
of Bangladesh. In this volume, the author focuses on Ayub Khan, Pakistan’s
first military dictator, and cites the events that led to his downfall. The united
state of Pakistan, constituting the western and eastern wings, ended on 16
December 1971 with the surrender of the eastern command of the Pakistan
armed forces. The book clearly describes and analyzes these developments,
basing the account on available factual documents and eyewitness accounts.
The Pakistan People’s Party

Rise to Power
Philip E. Jones
The book’s argument subscribes to the belief that the People’s Party was a
transitional political organization, in that it reflected both the passing age of
elite politics and the new age of mass politics. The book focuses on party
formation, factions and organizations. It offers a convincing analysis of the
causes of the PPP success in the 1970 elections.
A Testament of Sindh
Ethnic and Religious Extremism: A Perspective
M. S. Korejo
Among the problems facing Sindh today, ethnic militarism, sectarian
extremism, and political terrorism have acquired menacing proportions.
Ethnic confrontation has reached the dimensions of a mini civil war. Sectarian
intolerance has spread panic among peaceful citizens. This book is an attempt
to seriously and frankly analyse the current situation of Sindh.

Islam’s Political Culture

Religion and Politics in Predivided Pakistan
Nasim Ahmad Jawed
This book examines the political dimensions of Islam in pre-divided Pakistan
(1947–1971). The author draws on the findings of a survey he conducted among
two influential social groups, the ulama and modern professionals, as well as
on the writings of Muslim intellectuals. He probes the major Islamic positions
on critical issues concerning national identity, the purpose of the state, the
form of government, and free, socialist, and mixed economies.
Khaki Shadows
General K. M. Arif
This book vividly portrays the role of the army in the politics of Pakistan from
its earliest years and how the intermix of political and military forces created
difficulties for both and damaged national prestige. The author, who has held
important positions during two martial law administrations, gives an insider’s
account of the intrigues, manipulations and power struggles that engulfed
Pakistan and plunged it into an abyss of inefficiency, greed, and corruption.
The Politics of the Jamiat-i-Ulema-i-Islam

Sayyid A. S. Pirzada
The ulema claim that they stand for an Islamic system of government based on
the pattern of the caliphate. This book attempts to analyse this claim by
comparing the performance of the religious parties, particularly the JUI with
socialist and centrist parties in national politics.

Language and Politics in Pakistan

Tariq Rahman
The various language movements in Pakistan have sometimes led to rioting

Organization and Leadership in Karachi in the 1970s
Zafar Shaheed
This book recalls the conditions in which the labour movement was created in
Pakistan by documenting workers’ organization and action during the 1960s

interact with management and the State. Considering both the workplace and
the workers’ community in Karachi, it sheds new light on labour relations and
social policy, within an ethnically diverse setting. This book uncovers
milestones in the development of not only the labour movement but also the
development of democratic processes and structures.

Twenty Years of AKRSP’s Experience in Northern Pakistan

through which to test the viability and efficacy of fashions and approaches to
development, as reviewed in the introduction. The authors, a combination of
practitioners and thinkers, track the subtleties of change in people’s livelihoods
through which precarious, near universal subsistence poverty has been
exchanged for a much more nuanced and differentiated story of diverging
fortunes and opportunities, which have also embraced out-migration.

Decade of the Dacoits

Imdad Hussain Sahito
The dacoits of Sindh are famous for their daring raids, and their capacity to
loot, plunder, even murder and kidnap, and disappear swift ly into the jungle
hideouts of their forest habitats. During the ten-year period from 1984-1994,
the dacoits of Sindh became almost all-powerful, especially in the towns and
rural areas of the Province, and the police, even the army, could not contain
them. This book traces the history of the dacoits of Sindh, and investigates the
origins of the phenomena, and examines the forces that gave impetus to the
problem, and even succoured the dacoits in terrorizing the local population
with impunity.

Intikhab-e-Kalam Akhtar Shirani

This is a short and accessible selection of the poems of Akhtar Shirani, known
from the 1930s as the Romantic Poet of Urdu. His poems broke new ground in
Urdu and brought in the simplicity and sincerity associated with ancient
Arabic poetry, which depicts love and the desert milieu familiar to our poet
through his life in Rajasthan. All his contemporaries have been unstinting in
their praise of Akhtar Shirani’s contribution which has influenced three
generations of Urdu poets.

Khurshid ka Samaan-e-Safar
She’r-e-Iqbal par kuchh Tehreerayn
Shamsur Rahman Faruqi
Books on Iqbal are legion but very rarely an outstanding literary critic comes
up with a book which affords original insight into both the sweep of Iqbal’s
works and the particular aspects of Iqbal’s poetry. This is a work by a brilliant
critic, bound to dominate the literary scene for long. Shamsur Rahman Faruqi,
who concentrates on stylistic studies and poetic forms, has presented for the
first time a separate volume on Iqbal, which follows his earlier works on the
stalwarts of Urdu poetry, Mir and Ghalib.

Intikhab-e-Kalam Majaz
Majaz was a poet most representative of his age, struggling for independence
as well as seeking social emancipation. His poetry, specially his masterpiece
‘Awarah’ (Vagabond) characterizes what we came to identify in the 1960s as
the ‘Angry Young man’. He was an asset to the Progressive Writers Movement
as attested by all his contemporaries and comrades. Even today, 50 years after
his mysterious death, Majaz exercises a spell over every succeeding generation
of poets and critics. This volume showcases a selection of his poetry.

Siyasat aur Afwaj-e-Pakistan
M. Asghar Khan
The book focuses on the early entry of Pakistan’s armed forces into the
country’s politics and the struggle for the restoration of democracy from 1968
onwards. The author played an important role in this struggle, leading a
movement against Ayub Khan that resulted in his ouster, and later, opposing
Yahya Khan when he refused to hand over power to Sheikh Mujibur Rahman
and the Awami League after they won a clear majority in the 1970 elections. In
addition, the author reviews the events that led to the re-entry, in 1999, of the
armed forces into politics after a short and turbulent period of ‘democracy’,
and provides some insights into possible political developments in Pakistan in
the future.

Kalunk
Heera Mandi ki Darpardah Saqafat
Fouzia Saeed
Translated by Fahmida Riaz
This book is the Urdu translation of Taboo! The Hidden Culture of a Red Light
Area. It is a journey of discovery into the infamous red light district of Lahore,
Pakistan, known as the Shahi Mohalla (the Royal Bazaar), or Heera Mandi
(the diamond market). The phenomenon of prostitution coupled with music
and dance performances has ancient roots in South Asia. Regardless of the
stigma attached to prostitution, it has given birth for centuries to many well-
known performing artists. The book paints a more realistic picture of the
phenomenon through the stories of the people living there: the musicians, the
prostitutes, and their pimps, managers and customers.

Riyasat Rampur ka Nawabi Daur

vignettes build up a collage of images that reveal the link between the old and
the new. The book spans a lifetime, and in terms of lifestyles and rituals it
moves through centuries. It is extensively illustrated by a rare collection of
photographs which provides an extraordinary record of costumes and
traditions in the early years of the twentieth century.

Honour
Crimes, Paradigms, and Violence against Women
Edited by Lynn Welchman and Sara Hossain
Honour brings together the practical insights and experiences of individuals
and organizations working in diverse regions and contexts to combat ‘crimes
of honour’. The book examines strategies of response to such manifestations of
violence against women, focusing largely on ‘honour killings’, forced
marriages, and the related use of ‘honour’ and ‘provocation’ as a legal defence
in Europe, the Middle East, Latin America, and South Asia. This timely book
highlights activist and practice-orientated academic perspectives from both
the South and the North.
Women and the Fatimids in the World of Islam

Delia Cortese and Simonetta Calderini
This first full-length study on women and the Fatimids is a groundbreaking
work investigating an unexplored area in the field of Islamic and medieval
studies. The authors have unearthed a wealth of references to the status and
influence of women in this period, thus re-inscribing women’s role in the
history of one of the most fascinating Islamic dynasties —the only one to be
named after a woman.
Zina
Transnational Feminism and the Moral Regulation of Pakistani
Women
Shahnaz Khan
In this study, the author interrogates the Zina (anti-adultery) Ordinance and
its implications for Pakistani women. She presents a substantive assessment of
what has been occurring because of these laws and argues that the zina laws
help situate morality within the individual, thus de-emphasizing the
prevalence of societal injustice. The author’s original contribution lies in the
interviews with women arrested under the Zina Ordinance. She concludes that
transnational feminist solidarity can help women identify the linkages between
the local and global and challenge oppressive practices internationally.

Contested Representation
Punjabi Women in Feminist Debate in Pakistan
Tahmina Rashid
This research brings forth a dynamic way of looking at women’s rights
activism in Pakistan and how it affects the manner in which women issues are
analysed in various state and non-state avenues both at national and
international levels. Apart from looking at the legal rights, political
representation and socio-economic status of women, it looks at the contested
views on the class structure of society and the manner in which women are
positioned.
Beyond Honour
A Historical Materialist Explanation of Honour Related Violence
Tahira S. Khan
This book is an attempt to look beyond the cultural notion of honour as the
main motive behind gender-based violence by examining related issues
through historical academic research along with the narration of present day
stories of victims around the globe. By focusing on honour related violence in
the Muslim world, especially in Pakistan, this study aims to explain the origin
and persistence of the honour/shame code by applying Marx’s Historical
Materialist approach. This historical approach identifies the materialist/
economic basis of honour related violence in some societies, and the absence
of such violence in others.
No Shame for the Sun

Lives of Professional Pakistani Women
Shahla Haeri
This book is based on six candid interviews which introduce readers to a class
of professional Muslim women rarely, if ever, acknowledged in the West. These
women narrate stories of success and defeat, and of conflicts and compromises
with family, kin, and community while facing violence, archaic marriage rules,
and locally entrenched codes of conduct.

Women in Nursing in Islamic Societies

Edited by Nancy H. Bryant
The volume makes a significant contribution to understanding nursing from
the perspective of Islamic society. It also presents nursing in a broad social
context while simultaneously presenting country-specific examples through
well-written country vignettes from Iraq, Lebanon, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia,
and Bangladesh.
Taboo!
The Hidden Culture of a Red Light Area
Fouzia Saeed
Foreword by I. A. Rehman
The Islamic injunction against extramarital sex adds to the complexities that
prostitution has brought to Pakistani society. The Shahi Mohalla or Royal
Locality is the most infamous flesh market of Pakistan which has existed
through the centuries. In the process it has left an indelible impression on not
only the social consciousness of Pakistan, but also on many arts like dancing
and singing. This is a scholarly, yet sympathetic, analysis of an area no one
admits to have visited, and which nevertheless flourishes under the eyes of the
guardians of law and public morality.
