This book offers unique insights into the changing nature of power
and hierarchy in rural Pakistan from colonial times to present day.
It shows how electoral politics and the erosion of traditional
patron-client ties have not empowered the lower classes. The
monograph highlights the persistence of debt-bondage, and
illustrates how electoral politics provides assertive landlord
politicians with opportunities to further consolidate their power
and wealth at the expense of subordinate classes. It also
critically examines the relationship between local forms of Islam
and landed power. The volume will be of interest to scholars and
researchers on Pakistan and South Asian politics, sociology and
social anthropology, Islam, as also economics, development studies,
and security studies.
