Author: JAVID HUSAIN
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.

Pakistan’s diversity and resilience have rarely figured in the single-issue focus of recent literature on the country. This book presents an alternate paradigm and a deeper understanding of the . country’s dynamics through an analysis of the Pakistan’s political, economic, social, foreign policy, and governance challenges. ,It also discusses the complex interplay between domestic developments and external factors including great power interests that are so central to the Pakistan story and explain the vicissitudes in its fortunes.
An excellent book, one that brings out some veryimportant points about the surprising stability of the country beneath the alarmism of the daily headlines, and forms a useful antidote to the general perception about Pakistan in the West
Professor Anatol Lieven, King’s College, London
`This timely study looks beyond the headlines of terrorism and natural disaster that dominate Wertern perceptions of Pakistan. The contributors argue that contemporary security challenges and longer term demographic pressures and energy shortages can be overcome if Pakistan possesses the political will to undergo wide-ranging institutional, educational, and structural economic reform.

This book critically examines how and why Pakistan acquired its nuclear weapons, and then delves deeper into the motivations and circumstances of the nuclear proliferation activities of Khan’s network, with a special focus on Iran, Libya, and North Korea. For the first time in history all the elements of nuclear weapons development—the supplier networks, the material, the centrifuge technology and enrichment mechanism, and possibly the warhead designs—were outside direct state control at least for part of the time during this roughly sixteen-year proliferation crisis (1987–2003).

SOME TIME in 2016, a series of dialogues took place which set out to find a meeting ground, even if only an illusion, between A.S. Dulat and Asad Durrani. One was a former chief of RAW, India s external intelligence agency, the other of ISI, its Pakistani counterpart. As they could not meet in their home countries, the conversations, guided by journalist Aditya Sinha, took place in cities like Istanbul, Bangkok and Kathmandu. On the table were subjects that have long haunted South Asia, flashpoints that take lives regularly. It was in all ways a deep dive into the politics of the subcontinent, as seen through the eyes of two spymasters.
Among the subjects: Kashmir, and a missed opportunity for peace; Hafiz Saeed and 26/11; Kulbhushan Jadhav; surgical strikes; the deal for Osama bin Laden; how the US and Russia feature in the India-Pakistan relationship; and how terror undermines the two countries attempts at talks.
When the project was first mooted, General Durrani laughed and said nobody would believe it even if it was written as fiction. At a time of fraught relations, this unlikely dialogue between two former spy chiefs from opposite sides a project that is the first of its kind may well provide some answers.

Muslim societies are presumed to be stagnant and resistant to change. Yet the reality is quite the contrary. Pakistan is a pivotal Muslim nation. It exemplifies the scope and direction of social change in a Muslim society. This book shows how modernization as well as Islamization are simultaneously acting as processes of social transformation in Pakistan, along with population growth, urbanization and economic development. It offers an insightful view into Pakistan, exploring the wide range of ethnic groups, the countryside and cities, religion and community, and popular culture and national identity. It concludes by discussing likely future social developments in Pakistan, engaging students and academics interested in Pakistan and multiculturalism. Overall, this book is a comprehensive examination of social and cultural forces in wanting to understand contemporary Pakistan and the Muslim world.

In The Promise of Piety, Arsalan Khan examines the zealous commitment to a distinct form of face-to-face preaching (dawat) among Pakistani Tablighis, practitioners of the transnational Islamic piety movement the Tablighi Jamaat. This group says that Muslims have abandoned their religious duties for worldly pursuits, creating a state of moral chaos apparent in the breakdown of relationships in the family, nation, and global Islamic community. Tablighis insist that this dire situation can only be remedied by drawing Muslims back to Islam through dawat, which they regard as the sacred means for spreading Islamic virtue. In a country founded in the name of Muslim identity and where Islam is ubiquitous in public life, the Tablighi claim that Pakistani Muslims have abandoned Islam is particularly striking.
The Promise of Piety shows how Tablighis constitute a distinct form of pious relationality in the ritual processes and everyday practices of dawat and how pious relationality serves as a basis for transforming domestic and public life. Khan explores both the promise and limits of the Tablighi project of creating an Islamic moral order that can transcend the political fragmentation and violence of life in postcolonial Pakistan.
