Author: DR. JUNAID AHMAD
Tariq Rahman’s autobiography can be enjoyed for its accessible and humorous style of writing. It reads like a story of a certain sub-culture of Pakistani society which touches upon lived life in the armed forces and universities of the country. It also touches upon life in other countries and some of the world’s top universities: University of California, Berkeley, Cambridge, Oxford and Heidelberg. It is also of interest for both social and academic historians since they can cross check certain accounts of trends, fashions and attitudes in different walks of life in Pakistan and abroad. It provides valuable insights into the way universities functioned and how research was done in Pakistan between the 1980s till 2024. The author’s way of functioning may not be the typical way in which most academics functioned but still it provides some understanding of the processes of conducting research, publishing and teaching. It is relevant to mention that there is paucity of biographical accounts of academics in Pakistan. This autobiography, therefore, is an attempt to fill in this gap in biographical literature.

Author: F.S. AIJAZUDDIN
A chronicle of Pakistan’s political history that offers concise accounts of the major political events and constitutional issues, the making and the breaking of interim and regular constitutions going back to the establishment of Pakistan in August 1947. The book focuses on Pakistan’s challenges of state building and nation building, and the search for a viable participatory political order. It examines political and constitutional engineering by civilian and military-bureaucratic governments to serve their partisan interests, and Pakistan’s conflictual politics devoid of the democratic culture and civility. The book also offers insights into the changing patterns of civil-military relations, ascendancy of the military to political power, civilianization of military rule through power-sharing, and the shift from military “rule” to “role”. It also examines the internal and external dimensions of the East Pakistan/Bangladesh crisis, national and provincial elections, protest movements including the lawyers movement and the Caretaker governance system in Pakistan.

This book undertakes a comprehensive and documented study of the role of the military in Pakistan?s society and politics with a view to explaining why and how a professional military can acquire political disposition. The major themes have been studied with reference to three clusters of factors: the dynamics of the civil society and the working of the political institutions and processes, the military establishment and its organizational resources and professional and corporate interests; and the interaction across the functional boundaries between the military and the civil and its implications for the power balance in polity. The weaknesses of the civilian/political institutions and their inability to cope with diverse demands on the political system make it convenient for the senior commanders to expand their role and even assume power. However, military intervention is not necessarily and enduring remedy but it is a part of the overall problem of weak civilian institutions and political decay.

Shows that Abul Kalam Azad, Sheikh Abdullah, and Abdul Ghaffar Khan return parity to its richer, two-pronged definition of commonality and difference between Hindus and Muslims to challenge both exclusionary Pakistani nationalism and the threat of Hindu majoritarianism
Demonstrates that Muslim political thought in India could embrace the loss of older forms of monarchical and communitarian power to channel a politics of democratic sovereignty
Pluralises how global intellectual history understands the modern problem of minority in the age of partitions and identitarian sovereignty
Offers a rare treatment of Sheikh Abdullah and Abdul Ghaffar Khan as political thinkers with ambitions beyond Kashmir and the North-West Frontier
Argues that by anchoring Islam in their Muslim-majority regions, these nationalists settled the minority question and counterintuitively appropriated a secular nationality for all Indians

Author: AMAR SOHAL
This book offers an insider’s view of people and events that directly affected Pakistan’s political history. The author gradually widens the scope of his recollections from his boyhood and school days as a child in a peripatetic military family, to events of Partition, his cadetship at Sandhurst, and the huge affairs of state he experienced as the son of Field Marshal Mohammad Ayub Khan, former Commander-in-Chief and President and Pakistan’s first military ruler, as also in his capacity as Ayub Khan’s ADC, and eventually as a politician in his own right.
These memoirs also include details of important military campaigns before and during which Gohar Ayub rejoined service in the army, as well as pen portraits of members of his immediate family and leading contemporary personalities.
Glimpses into the Corridors of Power will appeal to all readers interested in an informed personal perspective of significant events in Pakistan’s history from a leading political personality who had access to the inner sanctums of power.
