[This collection] is distinguished by its wide range and the care which has clearly gone into the selection of texts for inclusion. . . . Attention has understandably been focused on what might be called the religious aspects of Islam, such as scripture, theology, sects, law, ritual and mysticism, but within those limits the texts chosen are marked by substantially of content, by geographical, chronological and social diversity, and by an intelligent use of less well known authors. . . . An excellent starting point for a systematic and analytical examination of Islam.”

This book presents a unique collection of readings on the economics of the social sector in Pakistan. The objective is to capture the salient features of quality of life in Pakistan and identify areas that need to be developed. The introductory chapter of the book presents a comprehensive overview of the socio-economic situation in Pakistan. This is followed by three Parts. In Part 1 quality of life in Pakistan is compared with other countries at the same level of economic development and with rich industrialized countries. Regional patterns of development within Pakistan are discussed and the extent and causes of rural poverty in Pakistan identified. Part II discusses the health situation in Pakistan, in particular, child health. The economics of private medical practice, which has expanded remarkably in recent years, is also analysed. Part HI examines the efficiency and priorities of Public Sector education in Pakistan and identifies the costs of teacher training. This also contains a discussion of the housing market in Pakistan and additionally consists of two papers that focus on urban street dwellers and child labour.
The arguments presented in the book are examined with statistical rigour but the problems and their solutions are stated clearly in a language that everybody understands. The hook is aimed at a wide readership that includes policy makers, administrators, academics and all those who are concerned about the quality of life in Pakistan.

Ghanshyamdas Birla was a unique personality, and the framework in which the author chose to paint his life is also unique. Though Ram Niwas Jaju has presented his portrait on the basis of books, newspapers and journals, old correspondence and fresh interviews in a systematic and gripping narrative, yet the book is not a mere biography. It is an attempt to delineate the many-sided Ghanshyamdas Birla from various angles.

In no region of the world have changes in religion and ethnic identity had a greater impact on political life than in the three countries that are the subject of this volume. The book examines the changing relationship of the state, religion, and ethnicity in three contiguous, non-Arab, Muslim countries in Southwest Asia. A central theme of the book is the importance of ethnolinguistic and religious identities, and the corresponding weakness of nationalism as the basis of civil society in all three countries. To what extent the present ruling elites–the military in Pakistan, the People’s Democratic Party in Afghanistan, and the clerical establishment in Iran–will succeed in their efforts to create strong states in societies where political institutions do not cut across diverse religious, ethnic, and class divisions is a major question raised by this volume. This collection of essays by an outstanding group of anthropologists, historians, political scientists, and Islamicists is one of the first attempts to look at the issues of the state, religion, and ethnic politics from a comparative and historical perspective.

During the 1970s, Pakistan’s export policies went through two major transformations as a result of realignments among its internal interest groups, bringing about significant changes in export composition and performance. As leader of a coalition of labor, small business, and other mass interests, Z.A. Bhutto supported a more equitable distribution of wealth and income, and shifted national policy after 1972 to favor labor, small-scale industry, and portions of the agricultural sector, rather than the large cotton textile manufacturers. Consequently, between 1972 and 1977, Pakistan’s export mix changed and the growth rate of exports was lower. A second major re-formulation of policy occurred in 1977 with Bhutto’s fall from power.
This book documents the role of interest groups in shaping Pakistan’s trade policy during the politically turbulent 1970-1982 period. The authors demonstrate that interest group rivalries, as much as national economic characteristics and external factors, have been major determinants of the country’s export performance. In addition to their analysis of the political economy of Pakistan’s export policies, they examine the behavior of all of the country’s major export components and conclude by assessing the future of Pakistan’s foreign trade.

Victims of mediocrity are self- made, says Dr. Norman Vincent Peale. If you send out negative thoughts, negative thoughts will return. If you send out robust thoughts of faith, hope, and optimism, positive thoughts will come surging back.
Dr. Peale tells you how to get powerful results from positive thoughts and offers exciting remedies for turning self-doubt into self-esteem and achieving your goals. When you understand why you haven’t achieved the success you want, you can look forward to fresh drams and bigger challenges. You can overcome obstacles to your success and be a winner — no matter what has been holding you back.

Today, strong momentum exists in many Muslim countries to reassert Islamic principles in social, economic, and political life. Recent events in Libya, the Sudan, Iran, Pakistan, Indonesia, and elsewhere raise a host of issues.
What is the nature of modern Islamic government and Islamic law? How can Islamic principles be incorporated into a modern state? While the 1978-79 Islamic revolution in Iran is often seen as a catalyst and model for Islamic revivalism, Pakistan, in fact, constitutes an older and more fully developed example of a modern state that has undertaken to apply Islamic precepts in its public life.
Especially since the early 1970s, Islamic ideology, actors, and organizations have been prominent in Pakistani politics, culminating in the official February 1979 proclamation that all laws must conform with the tenets of Islam. In that time elections have been postponed and political parties banned; Islamic laws, taxes, and banking have been introduced.
This book analyzes and evaluates Zia-ul-Haq’s Islamization program and its effects upon various social groups in Pakistan. The authors examine what Islamization has meant for political and religious leaders, for those living in the countryside, for economic planning, taxation, legal reform, and for the status and role of Muslim women.
‘Islamic Reassertion in Pakistan’ is an important contribution to the growing literature on contemporary Muslim politics.

Rahmat Ali was the first Indian Muslim to argue the 2-nation theory in irrefutable syllogism, to demand a sovereign Muslim state in the sub-continent, and to establish a movement to realize the ideal, and to invent a beautiful and apt name for the country which was still in the womb of time.
What he said and did between 1933 and 1947 grants him a pivotal position in the origin, evolution and consummation of the idea of Pakistan, and makes him one of the truest founding-fathers of the state of Pakistan. Hounded out of Pakistan when he came to live here, betrayed by his friends, ignored by the leaders of the Pakistan movement, neglected by scholars and historians, and libelled by the Establishment, he yet lives in our history as a figure of heroic proportions.
It has taken Prof. Aziz 15 years to draw this portrait. Using all the Rahmat Ali papers within his reach, interviews with his contemporaries, newspaper reports of that period and a vast amount of other sources, he has written a book which fits the importance of the subject. Immaculate documentation, a graceful style, and unaffected erudition combine to make it probably the finest biography ever published in Pakistan. It is a daring and memorable piece of historical scholarship.

In this beautifully written and fully detailed study, J. Royal Roseberry makes a major contribution to understanding the interaction of the agents of the British Raj and local leadership and elites in the nineteenth century.
In extending their power over the subcontinent, the British encountered their most difficult and complex task in the Indus Valley, northwest of Delhi. In playing the imperial game on this turbulent frontier they were often overmatched and outwitted by local leaders and their forces. Nowhere was the challenge greater than in Multan, a historic Muslim city, where power shifted continuously among a wavering dynasty, Hindu merchants, and tribal mercenaries.
A new factor entered the political arena in the 1840s with the arrival of representatives of the East India Company. Herbert Edwardes contested successfully with Diwan Mulraj and, through 1857, the administrative and land revenue systems of the Company were haltingly applied.
As elsewhere in India, local leaders and elites sought advantages under the new system and evaded its burdens when they could. Continuing the story after the disturbances of 1857-58 Roseberry discusses the continued jostling for power among Multan’s Muslims, Hindus, and British interlopers. He devotes attention to the judicial and revenue administrations, economic growth and social dislocation, and the growing communal tensions after 1880.

The people of Afghanistan stand at a crossroads, with resistance to the Soviet occupation entering its eighth year. The question of survival must be weighed against the difficult political choices of fighting or reaching an accommodation with the Soviet-backed Kabul regime. The vast majority choose to continue the struggle–aided in part by covert arms shipments–and to search for a uniquely Afghan nationalism despite rumors of an impending USSR-U.S. deal whereby, in return for Soviet troop withdrawal and cessation of arms aid to the Mujahideen, Afghanistan and Pakistan would become neutral Muslim nations. Drawing on Afghan cultural and historical background, this collection of original essays provides fresh insights into the nature of the Afghan conflict, the country’s threatened national infrastructure, the continuing decimation of its citizens, and the prospects for their survival. Showing that popular resistance is not limited to the Mujahideen, or freedom fighters, but encompasses the Afghan people as a whole, the contributors examine the impact of the world’s largest refugee population on the shape of the future Afghanistan. Based on their extensive firsthand experience in the region, the contributors provide an interdisciplinary analysis of a country, a people, and a war still too little known to the outside world.

The resurgence of Islamic fundamentalism in the 1980s influenced many in the Islamic world to reject Western norms of liberal rationality and to return, instead, to their own tradition [or political and cultural inspiration. This rejection of foreign thought threatens to end the centuries-long dialogue between Islam and the West, a dialogue that has produced a nascent Middle Eastern liberalism, along with many less desirable forms of discourse. With Islamic Liberalism, Leonard Binder hopes to reinvigorate that dialogue, asking whether political liberalism can take root in the Middle East without a vigorous Islamic liberalism, But, Binder asks, is an Islamic liberalism possible.
The Islamic political community presents special problems to the development of an indigenous liberalism. That community is conceived of as divinely ordained, and its notions of the good are to be derived from scriptural revelation, not arrived at through rational discourse, Liberal politics would seem to stand little chance of surviving in such an atmosphere, let alone thriving.
Binder responds to the challenge of Edward Said’s critique of Orientalism, of a range of neo-Marxian development theorists, of Sayyid Qutb’s fundamentalist vision, of Samir Amin’s vision of Egypt’s role in the Arab awakening, of Tariq al-Bishri’s new populism, of Zaki Najib Mahmud’s pragmatism, and the structuralism of Arkoun and Laroui, The deconstruction of these varied texts produces a number of persuasive hermeneutical conclusions that are sequentially woven together in a critical argument that refocuses our attention on the central question of political freedom and democracy in the course of constructing this argument. Binder reopens the dialogue between Western modernity and Islamic authenticity and reveals the surprising extent to which there is a convergent interest in liberal, democratic, civil society. Finally, in a concluding chapter, he addresses the prospects for liberalism in the three major bourgeois states of Islam — Egypt, Turkey, and Iran.

In many third world countries the astounding rate of urbanization and the related problems of housing and employment are caused not only by natural urban increase but by an enormous influx of migrants as well. Pakistan is no exception, and Karachi demonstrates the magnitude of these problems rather well. This case study of Karachi comprises seven chapters. The first is theoretical; the second relates migration to family and household of the migrant; the third presents the background to rural migration; the fourth analyses the results of a pilot study; chapter five gives the results of a migration survey of several bastis in Karachi; chapter six discusses issues of migration and low income housing in Karachi and the last chapter notes the consequences of the migration-type for community life in the surveyed bastis of Karachi. The research in this book supplements that done in an earlier volume by the author and co-edited with Mehtab Karim, titled Migration in Pakistan, Vanguard Books Ltd, Lahore, 1986.

This book deals with one of the most essential conditions of human existence: the health of individuals and society. The author has described the multi-faceted structure of health care in Pakistan at great length and has then identified and highlighted the results of this health system on the people of the country. He uses a Marxist framework and shows how the exploitation and domination of a small minority in the economic structure of society is mirrored in the health structure of the country. He argues that the existing economic and political situation in Pakistan has resulted in a model of health care which is elitist, western-oriented, and suited to the needs of a handful of well-to-do people. The author shows how this elitist bias is predominant in the numerous layers of the model, and issues, such as medical education, the social background of medical students, the geographical location of health facilities and doctors, etc., are all analyzed within this perspective. He shows convincingly, that the goal health for all by the year 2000″, given the existing class structure in Pakistan, is an impossibility. To achieve health for all, or for even the majority of the people in Pakistan or any other underdeveloped capitalist country, one needs, as a prerequisite, to change the existing economic, social and political structure which gives birth to the particular inequitable model of health care. Only then can one have the beginnings of a more just and equitable society and hope for health for all.
