DOWNLOAD EBOOKPakistan had a plural society per excellence. Its people were divided geographically between two separate regions, spoke different languages, had different cultures and economic structures. Like other plural societies elsewhere, Pakistan also faced the problem of national integration. Cleavages along the lines of traditional attachments are fundamental to any plural society, as they were in Pakistan. But their political manifestation could have been kept within managable limits if the Central Government, overwhelmingly composed of the West Pakistanis, was seriously committed to the task. All that Pakistan needed to maintain her integrated existence was deliberate, calculated and conscious efforts on the part of the Central Government to give the Bengalis, the majority linguistic and geographic group in the country, a partnership in the state of Pakistan, an effective power in the decision-making process of the country, a reasonable share from the economic resources of the country, and to show respect to their hopes and aspirations. In addition, Pakistan needed a national platform to bring her divergent linguistic and geographic groups toge~her for some common, national purpos~s. Political parties were the only institutions which could have served this purpose. Pakistan miserably failed to sustain national political parties and failed to satisfy Bengalis' demands. This failure eventually resulted in the falling apart of the political system of Pakistan in 1971.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis 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.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis 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.
