It Was An Assignment That Was At Once Challenging And Intimidating. I Was Going To Be Setting Foot On Enemy Territory. Amit Baruah Was One Of Only Two Indian Journalists Allowed To Be Based In Islamabad During Three Tumultuous Years Of Pakistan S History. The Author Recounts With Some Amusement His Family S Experience Of Life In Islamabad Society Between April 1997 And June 2000 All Of It Conducted Under The Suspicious Gaze Of Pakistani Intelligence Agents Who Shadow Baruah, His Wife And Daughters Everywhere, Including Into Friends Living Rooms. He Records His Frustration At Being Disallowed From Reporting Freely On The Ground Many Events That Defined Indo-Pak Relations, Even As Death Or Kidnapping Forever Stalks Him. Three Incidents Haunt Baruah The Most: Not Being Cleared To Attend The Funeral, In 1998, Of John Joseph, The Bishop Of Faisalabad Who Committed Suicide In Protest Against Pakistan S Blasphemy Laws; Being Forbidden To View The Wreckage Of An Indian Air Force Plane Shot Down During The Kargil Conflict Of 1999; And Being Prevented From Entering Afghanistan From Pakistan To Report On The Kandahar Hijacking Later That Year. And Yet, Says Baruah, Despite All The Personal And Professional Difficulties He Faced In Pakistan, His Stint In Islamabad And His Exchanges With So Many Friends He Cannot Name Proved To Be The Most Exciting And Enriching In His Career. While Admitting The Difficult Nature Of His Job As A Foreign Correspondent In A Hostile Nation, Baruah Recalls The Joys Of Meeting Generous, Like-Minded People In A Country Whose Regimented Stance On India And Its Press Is Less Than Friendly.

Explicating the pre- and post-Bin Laden Pakistan, Imtiaz Gul relooks at questions plaguing the nation: Why and how this country became home to the world’s most wanted terrorist? Bin Laden’s escape from the Tora Bora Mountains in Eastern Afghanistan in December 2001 to his last hideout in Abbottabad, and to find answers to the dozens of questions surrounding his stay in Pakistan as well as the US blitz raid in the wee hours of 2 May 2011. Had the world’s most wanted person at all been living in Pakistan for all those years, how did he manage to stay undetected, together with his big family, including an eight-month-old son? Who from within the security establishment provided the safety network to the family? What stakes did the Pakistan Army and the ISI have at all – if they were complicit – in protecting him? Why did Bin Laden fascinate certain people and groups within Pakistan? Pakistan: Before and After Osama is an attempt to analyze present-day Pakistan in the light of two narratives – one stitched together in Washington and the other woven in Pakistan – about the checkered history of its relations with Pakistan and its involvement in the region, and how differences over how to tackle Al Qaeda and its local affiliates continue to sour and strain the ties between the two long-time ‘allies’.

It also examines the changes within the military, the impact of these changes on its disposition towards the state and society, and the implications for peace and security in nuclearized South Asia.

In this groundbreaking work, Kamal Sadiq reveals that most of the world's illegal immigrants are not migrating directly to the US, but to countries in the vast developing world, where they are able to obtain citizenship papers fairly easily. Sadiq introduces "documentary citizenship" to explain how paperwork--often falsely obtained--confers citizenship on illegal immigrants. Across the globe, there are literally tens of millions of such illegal immigrants who have assumed the guise of "citizens." Who, then, is really a citizen? And what does citizenship mean for most of the world's peoples? Rendered in vivid detail, Paper Citizens not only shows how illegal immigrants acquire false papers, but also sheds light on the consequences this will have for global security in the post 9/11 world.

Lieutenant Anthony Sattill, head of Manhattans Crime Analysis Team, is assigned to investigate murders at the Neighborhood Financial & Legal Services. The case is very personal to Sattill because the wife of his best friend is one of the victims. The investigation starts with the murders at the storefront and wends its way to a rave, a street gang, the murder of a policewoman, a federal drug bust, and a beacon of hope to the downtrodden. Why do Sattills superiors allow his team to be lead investigators in this case that is well beyond the scope of their usual role in the Department? How can the team find the clues that unlock the mystery of a crime that leads to other crimes that give rise to even more questions? With federal agencies stonewalling them, Sattills team must connect diverse leads, disparate facts, and hidden meanings to reach the logical conclusion: that someone of great influence is behind these horrific events. As the team gets close to solving the case, evil lashes out until the final crime and its connection to the others reveals truth.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has not only become an important concept for corporate organizations but also civil society, community, state and the multilateral and bilateral development agencies. It has acquired great significance in the aftermath of the global financial crisis of 2008, not only in the advanced economies, but also in emerging and developing countries. In contemporary Pakistan problems of poverty, unemployment, illiteracy, and human rights violations are frequent. These problems cannot be dealt with by the state and civil society alone and call for corporate involvement. Backed by rich empirical data, based on extensive fieldwork and complemented with the official data sources, this book offers a detailed analysis of the socially responsible corporate policies and practices of companies operating in the emerging economy of Pakistan. Employing qualitative and quantitative research methods, it examines the sensitivity of companies in Pakistan to CSR measured in terms of their policies and perceptions about CRS, their CSR development activities, perceptions about development Non-Governmental Organisations, and channels and forms of support for development projects(both monetary and non-monetary). Filling a significant gap in our understanding of an important part of contemporary Pakistan’s development and the outlook of companies towards CSR, the book will be of interest to policymakers and scholars working in the fields of Development Studies, Business Studies and Asian Studies.

The pilots are dead and the cockpit door is locked in this “gritty and authentic” terror plot thriller (Andy McNab). Tristie Merritt leads a renegade band of ex-soldiers.

The partitioning of British India into independent Pakistan and India in August 1947 occurred in the midst of communal holocaust, with Hindus and Sikhs on one side and Muslims on the other. More than 750,000 people were butchered, and 12 million fled their homes -- primarily in caravans of bullock-carts -- to seek refuge across the new border: it was the largest exodus in history. Sixty-seven years later, it is as if that August never ended. Renowned historian and journalist Dilip Hiro provides a riveting account of the relationship between India and Pakistan, tracing the landmark events that led to the division of the sub-continent and the evolution of the contentious relationship between Hindus and Muslims. To this day, a reasonable resolution to their dispute has proved elusive, and the Line of Control in Kashmir remains the most heavily fortified frontier in the world, with 400,000 soldiers arrayed on either side. Since partition, there have been several acute crises between the neighbors, including the secession of East Pakistan to form an independent Bangladesh in 1971, and the acquisition of nuclear weapons by both sides resulting in a scarcely avoided confrontation in 1999 and again in 2002. Hiro amply demonstrates the geopolitical importance of the India-Pakistan conflict by chronicling their respective ties not only with America and the Soviet Union, but also with China, Israel, and Afghanistan. Hiro weaves these threads into a lucid narrative, enlivened with colorful biographies of leaders, vivid descriptions of wars, sensational assassinations, gross violations of human rights -- and cultural signifiers like cricket matches. The Longest August is incomparable in its scope and presents the first definitive history of one of the world's longest-running and most intractable conflicts.

How has India’s foreign policy evolved in the seventy years since Independence? For that matter, what is the country’s foreign policy? And what are the aspects that determine and shape it?
