Book excerpt: This book presents the socio-political history of birth of Bangladesh. It provides a brief summary of the roles the Bengali Muslims played in relation to British rule and the Pakistan movement. It narrates the dynamics that took place during British Colonial administration that inspired the people of this land toward freedom and equality on the basis of modern democratic principles they experienced in whatever limited fashion during the British rule. It also illuminates the peoples' expectations that with the replacement of Colonial democracy they could establish true democracy as was exposed through the writings of Western scholars. It provides a summary of how the hopes and aspirations of the East Pakistani Bengalis were shattered due to West Pakistani politicians' attitudes and actions. It provides a description how military rule further alienated East Pakistani Bengalis due to its new form of central governmentBasic Democracyand how discrimination gave impetuses for further protests and agitations. It illustrates how economic and social discriminations created disparities and uneven development and how East Pakistani Bengalis responded as a group. It explains the rise of Bengali nationalism. It is shown how East Pakistani Bengalis were committed to the restoration of a true democratic system of governance as the only way to save Pakistan from disintegration. It shows how the downfall of Aga Mohammad Ayub Khan (1907-1974) and the rise of Yahya Khan (1917-1980) were nothing but a change of face and a repeat of deceitfulness. It describes the occupation period when the West Pakistani army literally occupied East Pakistani Bengali population. It describes how during the occupation period, the West Pakistani army committed genocide and how most of the world powers remained indifferent to it. Finally, a description has been provided of the Mukti Bhanithe people's army of East Bengalhow it was formed and how it fought against Pakistan's pampered army until the surrender of West Pakistani army and Bangladesh was born. This book provides a comprehensive understanding of a long chain of events that ultimately led to the victory on December 16, 1971.
Book Synopsis Muslim Laws, Politics and Society in Modern Nation States by : Ihsan Yilmaz
Download or read book Muslim Laws, Politics and Society in Modern Nation States written by Ihsan Yilmaz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on theories of legal pluralism, this book tests whether and to what extent claims of the modern nation-state laws to exclusive dominance over other spheres are tenable, and reassesses the operation of law in society. Incorporating a combination of legal theory, post-modern critique and socio-legal analysis of three current jurisdictions in which Muslims play an important role, the volume identifies Muslims' current socio-legal situation and attitudes from different perspectives and reconciles them with modern legal systems in three key countries. It analyzes the conflict between the assumptions of modern legal systems and plural legal realities, and also examines attempts by modern legal systems to impose official laws in the face of resistance from unofficial Muslim laws and discusses possible responses to the challenge of dynamic Muslim legal pluralism. A valuable resource for students, researchers and academics with an interest in the areas of Islamic law and politics, and the interplay between secular law and religious/cultural traditions.

Book Synopsis Political Conflict in Pakistan by : Mohammad Waseem
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.

Book Synopsis Non-Muslims in Muslim Majority Societies - With Focus on the Middle East and Pakistan by : Kajsa Ahlstrand
Download or read book Non-Muslims in Muslim Majority Societies - With Focus on the Middle East and Pakistan written by Kajsa Ahlstrand and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2009-04-01 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a world where almost all societies are multi-religious and multi-ethnic, we need to study how social cohesion can be achieved in different contexts. In some geographical areas, as in the Middle East and the Indian subcontinent, people of different religious belonging have, through the ages, lived side by side, sometimes in harmony and sometimes in dissonance. In other geographical regions, as in Scandinavia, societies have been quite religiously homogeneous but only recently challenged by immigration. The implication in both locations is that the relation between religious minority and majority is on the agenda. In order to discuss the situation for Non-Muslims in Muslim majority societies, a consultation was convened with both Muslim and Christian participants from Pakistan, Palestine, Lebanon, and Sweden. Some of the participants work in academic settings, others in faith based organizations, some in jurisprudence and others with theological issues. This book is the result of that consultation; the articles are "works in progress," and they remain tentative. The intention with this anthology is to trigger reflection and further thinking. It presents articles that discuss issues such as freedom of religion, minority rights, secular and religious legislation, and inter-religious dialogue in Muslim majority societies. Contributors: Kajsa Ahlstrand, Goran Gunner, Mustafa Abu Sway, Johan Garde, Yasmin Haider, Jan Hjarpe, M. Aslam Khaki, Bernard Sabella, Mehboob Sada, Guirguis Ibrahim Saleh, and Ahmad Salim This book is the second volume in Church of Sweden Research Series.

Book Synopsis Introducing Comparative Politics by : Stephen Orvis
Download or read book Introducing Comparative Politics written by Stephen Orvis and published by CQ Press. This book was released on 2017-01-19 with total page 762 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organized thematically around important questions in comparative politics, Introducing Comparative Politics, Fourth Edition by Stephen Orvis and Carol Ann Drogus integrates a set of extended case studies of 11 core countries into the narrative. Serving as touchstones, the cases are set in chapters where they make the most sense topically—not separated from theory or in a separate volume—and vividly illustrate issues in cross-national context. The book’s organization allows instructors flexibility and gives students a more accurate sense of comparative study. In this edition, a brand new chapter on Contentious Politics covers ethnic fragmentation, social movements, civil war, revolutions, and political violence. New case studies on this topic include the Occupy and Tea Party movements in the US; Zapatista rebellion in Mexico; Boko Haram in Nigeria; and; and revolutions in China and Iran. The chapter on States and Identity has been substantially revised to better introduce students to the concept of identity and how countries handle identity-based demands. Case studies include nationalism in Germany; ethnicity in Nigeria; religion in India; race in the US; gender in Iran; and sexual orientation in Brazil. Content on states and markets, political economy, globalization, and development has all been consolidated into a new Part III of the book, focusing in a sustained way on economic issues.
