“On the occasion of Saadat Hasan Manto’s birth centenary, there is a pressing need to put the record straight by making his work accessible across the linguistic divide between Urdu and English that hinders a free-flowing exchange of ideas within Pakistan. Consisting exclusively of Manto’s writings, this limited edition commemorative volume is intended to be as much a visually pleasing experience as a reading one. Divided into four parts, it showcases Manto’s autobiographical pieces; personality sketches, selected short stories and essays, and for the first time brings into the public domain several hitherto unpublished photographs of the author and his family and friends.” Ayesha Jalal
Published in 2012, on the occasion of Manto’s centenary, this volume carries selected original Urdu writings of Manto, along with their English translations. Also included are essays on Manto by contemporary authors including Ayesha Jalal. A must-have for fans of Saadat Hassan Manto.

“Chitral State: A Legal History is a work of scholarship. The topics that it treats cover a wide canvas. It takes the story essentially up to the time that Chitral’s accession to the newly established Pakistan was formally accepted in early 1948, although, at least in form, princely rule was to last another two decades until 1969 when it came to an end. The book is well-researched, immensely readable, and draws on an extensive variety of sources (all meticulously referenced). As a member of the former princely family, born and brought up and still living in his ancestral home in Lower Chitral, the author is especially well-positioned to tell the story which unfolds in the pages of this book. The author’s reflections of the nature of society, both as an abstract legal concept and as it developed in early Chitral and on issues of paramountcy, draw heavily on his grounding in legal theory. This is above all a book to dip into and enjoy. Its appeal should be as much to the historian as to the lawyer. It is clearly a labour of love. It is partly an evocation of times past. It is also partly a desire to inform those, curious to know something of what it was that animated such an extraordinary part of the world, about a polity that no longer exists but has left many marks on contemporary Chitral.”

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

The creation of Bangladesh is the most tragic episode of Pakistan?s history, invoking the feelings of loss of not a geographical territory but of family, integrity, trust, honour and identity. It is an unhealed wound which bleeds tears not only of loss and remorse, but of frustration and grief on the undeserved accusations. This book breaks new grounds in revealing the real facts behind the loss of East Pakistan and creation of Bangladesh. It sheds chronological light on the actors, their conspiracies, their misadventures and their failings, whose actions culminated into the calamity of the demise of East Pakistan. It is Pakistan?s misfortune that untrue, baseless propaganda of the friendly and antagonistic stakeholders in the creation of Bangladesh tarnishes Pakistan?s international image and stains its history with untrue allegations of fomenting genocide. This book is a unique endeavor to lift the veil of misunderstandings and cover-ups that mislead history into the unjustified labelling of Pakistan as the perpetrator of the horrifying atrocities committed against the Bengalis during the course of events that led to the creation of Bangladesh. Armed with facts and accounts of the victims and eye witnesses, it dispels the notion that non-Bengalis were unscathed by the bloodbath that had ensued in the appalling events of the dismemberment of 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.
