Book excerpt: With these questions in mind Professor Kapur charts the continuous power struggles of Pakistan's ruling elites. Using a historical and comparative approach he shows how the search for democracy and national identity has been hindered by army intervention, political intrigue and the failure of Islam to unite the various ethnic factions. While pessimistic about the chances for democracy in Pakistan, he hopes that the democratic pluralism and broad-based political activity emerging in much of Eastern Europe and the Third World will inspire ordinary Pakistanis to transform their country into a nation, in spirit as well as in name.

Download or read book Pakistan in Turmoil written by Mujahid Hussain and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-10-19 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mujahid Husain is an investigative journalist whose work is without frills, focusing on facts that reveal the truth. This makes his work extremely useful because it is bare of Urdu's usual frills and unusual because of the torrent of facts at his command. He talks in this book about "Diwaliya Pakistan" (Bankrupt Pakistan), which Urdu journalism is unfamiliar with. Those who go to English journalism for truth undiluted by emotion should read Mujahid's book because its presentation is held together with a practical style and heretofore unknown facts. One example is his narration of contacts between Imran Khan and two Bajwas that we know little about. Of course, the first Bajwa is Lieutenant-General Asim Saleem Bajwa, and the second is General Qamar Javed Bajwa, both ironically linked to fortunes abroad. However, the latter is responsible for Khan's final comedown. The details of these two relationships lies at the root of Pakistan's current narrative. However, one must pay attention to the unconventional Urdu style of writing employed by Mujahid Husain: no frills, but flowing enough to prevent the reader from wandering from the theme. Other accounts, like one on Nawaz Sharif and the other on the Bhutto-Zardari clan, unveil details of unsavory corruption that mars the life stories of most Pakistani politicians and moral bankruptcy of both sorts, civilian and military. The style is without irritating sub-clauses - which means no exaggeration - because the facts appear overwhelming. Khaled Ahmed Consulting Editor Newsweek Pakistan

Download or read book The Pakistan Paradox written by Christophe Jaffrelot and published by Random House India. This book was released on 2016-06-16 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of Pakistan stands riddled with tensions. Initiated by a small group of select Urdu-speaking Muslims who envisioned a unified Islamic state, today Pakistan suffers the divisive forces of various separatist movements and religious fundamentalism. A small entrenched elite continue to dominate the country’s corridors of power, and democratic forces and legal institutions remain weak. But despite these seemingly insurmountable problems, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan continues to endure. The Pakistan Paradox is the definitive history of democracy in Pakistan, and its survival despite ethnic strife, Islamism and deepseated elitism. This edition focuses on three kinds of tensions that are as old as Pakistan itself. The tension between the unitary definition of the nation inherited from Jinnah and centrifugal ethnic forces; between civilians and army officers who are not always in favour of or against democracy; and between the Islamists and those who define Islam only as a cultural identity marker.

Download or read book Political Conflict in Pakistan written by Mohammad Waseem and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-04-01 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a major reinterpretation of politics in Pakistan. Its focus is conflict among groups, communities, classes, ideologies and institutions, which has shaped the country's political dynamics. Mohammad Waseem critically examines the theory surrounding the millennium-long conflict between Hindus and Muslims as separate nations who practiced mingled faiths, and the Hindu, Muslim and Sikh renaissances that created a twentieth-century clash of communities and led to partition. Political Conflict in Pakistan addresses multiple clashes: between the high culture as a mission to transform society, and the low culture of the land and the people; between those committed to the establishment's institutional constitutional framework and those seeking to dismantle the "colonial" state; between the corrupt and those seeking to hold them to account; between the political class and the middle class; and between civil and military power. The author exposes how the ruling elite centralised power through the militarisation and judicialization of politics, rendering the federalist arrangement an empty shell and thus grossly alienating the provinces. He sets all this within the contexts of education and media as breeders of conflict, the difficulties of establishing an anti-terrorist regime, and the state's pragmatic attempts at conflict resolution by seeking to keep the outsiders inside. This is a wide-ranging account of a country of contestations.

Download or read book War, Coups and Terror written by Brian Cloughley and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2009-05-01 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, Pakistan has changed from being a state of regional strategic significance to one of major global importance. Its geographical position and delicate religious mix, coupled with a complex political structure and its status as a nuclear power, have ensured that its actions—and inactions—have attracted close scrutiny since 9/11 and the declaration of the 'War on Terror.' Yet there remains widespread dis-agreement among political and military analysts as to the real position of this enigmatic nation. In War, Coups, and Terror, Brian Cloughley explores the underbelly of Pakistan's military and its controversial role within the Pakistani government since Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto came to power in 1971. An insider with links to Pakistan's past and present senior officers, Cloughley provides a unique insight into the Army's influence and position as a force in the fight against al-Qaeda and the Taliban, as well as an account of operations against the 2003-2004 tribal uprising. His coverage of military-political relations will fascinate those who seek a closer understanding of this enigmatic and complex country, its ambitions, affiliations, and loyalties.

Download or read book Pakistan written by Wilson John and published by Pearson Education India. This book was released on 2009 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does democracy have a chance in Pakistan? In the sixty years of its existence, Pakistan has experienced four military coups and has been ruled by the military for more than half the period. Even during the interludes of democracy, Pakistan's military exercised considerable power and influence. It also supported various militant groups in their causes, thus abetting terrorism. Ill-conceived policies of the military dictatorship in the country and failed intermittent civilian governments fuelled internal turmoil and branded Pakistan as a refuge for Islamic terrorists and a haven for the Taliban. Pakistan: The Struggle Within documents and analyses, among other things, the geopolitical scenario, the ethnic conflicts and civil-military relations in Pakistan, and explores its immediate future, all of which have a great and immediate relevance-not only to India but also to the international community. This book is a collection of essays written by some of the world's best-known scholars and analysts on Pakistan. It highlights how Pakistan continues to battle multiple challenges to its sovereignty, identity and survival as a nation-state.
