With a Mantoesque aura pervading this collection of stories from across the
great divide of 1947, the reader becomes complicit in fiction?s inimitable
capacity to subvert established ?truths?. A tribute to the power of story-telling,
this is a heart-warming, humanizing and inspirational collection that deserves a
wide readership.?
? Ayesha Jalal
?Reading through this mosaic of enthralling stories, my emotions relentlessly
oscillated between agony and hope. While these stories brilliantly bring to life
familiar characters, they also manifest the compelling essence of fiction that
takes you to unfamiliar paths. I?m sure this book will ignite in readers a desire
to rise above boundaries and divisive politics.?

The Pakistan Army is a uniquely powerful and influential institution, with vast landholdings and resources. It has deep roots in the colonial armed forces and relies heavily on certain regions to supply its soldiers, especially parts of rural Punjab, where men have served in the army for generations. These men, their wives and mothers, and the military culture surrounding them are the focus of Maria Rashid’s Dying to Serve, which innovatively and sensitively addresses the question: how does the military thrive when so much of its work results in injury, debility, and death? Taking ritual commemorations of fallen soldiers as one critical site of study, Rashid argues that these “spectacles of mourning” are careful manipulations of affect, gendered and structured by the military to reinforce its omnipotence in the lives of its subjects. Grounding her study in the famed martial district of Chakwal, Rashid finds affect similarly deployed in recruitment and training practices, as well as management of death and compensation to families. She contends that understanding these affective technologies is crucial to challenging the appeal of the military institution globally.
