Pakistan: Partition, Politics and Society

How do the echoes of 1947 shape Pakistan's politics and social fabric today? PAKISTAN: Partition, Politics and Society is a vital scholarly collection that bridges this gap. Edited by Naumana Kiran, this volume brings together diverse research to provide a comprehensive, three-dimensional understanding of the nation's complex trajectory - from the foundational trauma of Partition to its contemporary political and social realities.

A Triple Lens on a Complex Nation
This book is structured around three interconnected themes, offering you a holistic analytical framework:

1. Partition & Its Long Shadow: Move beyond broad narratives with focused studies on evacuee property, migrant memories, and the material legacy of 1947, uncovering how displacement continues to influence society.
2. The Political Evolution: Examine Pakistan's governance journey, including civil-military relations, the historical and contemporary politics of Balochistan, the role of the Federal Cabinet, and the workings of major political parties.
3. Pressuring Social Issues: Confront critical modern challenges that demand policy attention, such as honor killings, population growth, security dilemmas, and the evolution of middle-class identities in regions like Sindh.
