People interested in the history of India's partition invariably
ask the same question: Why did Pakistan happen? Or, what was the
Pakistan idea? Focusing on M. A. Jinnah's political career, this
book addresses the issue of whether he had a secular or religious
vision for Pakistan, or perhaps something in between? Pakistan as a
country has yet to find its proper place in the world. Logically,
it is assumed that if we can reach a consensus on Jinnah's thought,
then we can also resolve the long-standing question of what kind of
state Pakistan was meant to be, and thus how it should develop
today. Pakistanis are tired of self-serving politicians,
landlordism, nepotism, the rise of religious fundamentalism,
corruption, economic instability, and the semi-predictable cycle
between incompetent bureaucratic and military regimes. Hence for
Pakistanis more than anyone else, the debate over Jinnah is a
highly emotive subject, and at its heart is a battle of ideas.
Pakistanis are really trying to work out something much bigger than
Jinnah's place in history. They are trying to find their own
historical identity as well. A well researched and
thoroughly-indexed book that has earned its place amongst the
leading political commentaries on contemporary Pakistan.
