Aitzaz Ahsan has come out with a new vision of the history of Pakistan, a vision that may be termed the ‘Discovery of Pakistan’. Ahsan has come forward boldly on a theme that Pakistan historians have so far hesitated to elaborate on. If we have created Pakistan, there must be a history of the land of the people who have lived and labored here. The future generations deserve to have a history of the country. Aitzaz Ahsan is a lawyer, which makes the breadth of his historical, sociological, and cultural research all the more impressive. He underlies his abiding theme: the vein of resistance in Pakistani culture exists in contradiction to the officially imposed or sanctioned ideologies. The Indus Saga questions and rejects many of the widely-accepted myths of subcontinental history; highlights the dichotomy between the Indus region and India; and shows the almost unbroken continuity of a distinct social and political order. It is bold, innovative, provocative, and highly readable.
