After seventy-five years of independence, the history of Pakistan remains centered on the state, its ideology and the two-nation theory. Towards Peoples’ Histories in Pakistan seeks to shift that focus away from histories of an imagined nation, to the history of its peoples.
Based on the premise that the historiographical tradition in Pakistan has ignored the existence of people who actually make history, this book brings together historians, anthropologists, sociologists and political scientists to shed light on the diverse histories of the people themselves.
Assembling histories of events and peoples missing from grand narratives of national history, the essays in this collection incorporate a diversity of approaches to the past as it opens the possibilities of multiple histories, the archives through which they are registered, and the various temporalities in which they persist.

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.

A lot of excellent research exists in the West on the roots of the Indo – European group of languages. But no attempt has been made in Urdu and Persian to compile etymologies. However, Sanskrit dictionaries, like Arabic ones, are based on roots.
Therefore it is possible in some cases to relate Western Indo-European roots to Sanskrit ones. That is what Khaled Ahmed has done in this book.
It is different from other works on etymology in that it enlists words common to Eastern and Western language groups. Barring early philologists like Muller and Jones, no one has so far tried to look at this shared aspect.
This is the unexplored field of discovery and consequent excitement that this book wishes to share with readers. For instance, kana is “reed” in Punjabi; so is it in Greek. In the Western group, Greekkana has given rise to words like “canal”, “channel’, “Canon”, etc. In Skand Gupt, which is the name of an Indian king, skand means “jump” in Persian, skand means the same; in English “ascend”, the root skand means “jump”.
In Harsha, another Indian king, the root hr means “hair” rising under a sensation of joy; in Persianharas, it means “hair” rising under a sensation of fear; in English, “horror” means “hair” rising under a sensation of terror. This is the kind of verbal adventure the book promises.
This book will be of use to specialists in search of more shared words across the East-West divide of the Indo-European languages. It is also guaranteed to excite the common reader of language.
