Secularizing Islamists? provides an in-depth analysis of two Islamist parties in Pakistan, the highly influential Jama‘at-e-Islami and the more militant Jama‘at-ud-Da‘wa, widely blamed for the November 2008 terrorist attack in Mumbai, India. Basing her findings on thirteen months of ethnographic work with the two parties in Lahore, Humeira Iqtidar proposes that these Islamists are involuntarily facilitating secularization within Muslim societies, even as they vehemently oppose secularism. This book offers a fine-grained account of the workings of both parties that challenges received ideas about the relationship between the ideology of secularism and the processes of secularization. Iqtidar particularly illuminates the impact of women on Pakistani Islamism, while arguing that these Islamist groups are inadvertently supporting secularization by forcing a critical engagement with the place of religion in public and private life. She highlights the role that competition among Islamists and the focus on the state as the center of their activity plays in assisting secularization. The result is a significant contribution to our understanding of emerging trends in Muslim politics.

An insightful history of censorship, hate speech, and majoritarianism in post-partition South Asia. At the time of the India-Pakistan partition in 1947, it was widely expected that India would be secular, home to members of different religious traditions and communities, whereas Pakistan would be a homeland for Muslims and an Islamic state. Seventy-five years later, India is on the precipice of declaring itself a Hindu state, and Pakistan has drawn ever narrower interpretations of what it means to be an Islamic republic. Bangladesh, the former eastern wing of Pakistan, has swung between professing secularism and Islam. Neeti Nair assesses landmark debates since partition—debates over the constitutional status of religious minorities and the meanings of secularism and Islam that have evolved to meet the demands of populist electoral majorities. She crosses political and territorial boundaries to bring together cases of censorship in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, each involving claims of “hurt sentiments” on the part of individuals and religious communities. Such cases, while debated in the subcontinent’s courts and parliaments, are increasingly decided on its streets in acts of vigilantism. Hurt Sentiments offers historical context to illuminate how claims of hurt religious sentiments have been weaponized by majorities. Disputes over hate speech and censorship, Nair argues, have materially influenced questions of minority representation and belonging that partition was supposed to have resolved. Meanwhile, growing legal recognition and political solicitation of religious sentiments have fueled a secular resistance.

The movement away from secularist practices and toward political Islam is a prominent trend across Muslim polities. Yet this shift remains under-theorized. Why do modern Muslim polities adopt policies that explicitly cater to religious sensibilities? How are these encoded in law and with what effects? Sadia Saeed addresses these questions through examining shifts in Pakistan's official state policies toward the rights of religious minorities, in particular the controversial Ahmadiyya community. Looking closely at the 'Ahmadi question', Saeed develops a framework for conceptualizing and explaining modern desecularization processes that emphasizes the critical role of nation-state formation, political majoritarianism, and struggles between 'secularist' and 'religious' ideologues in evolving political and legal fields. The book demonstrates that desecularization entails instituting new understandings of religion through processes and justifications that are quintessentially modern.

After Madinah State established by Prophet Mohammad (PBUH). Pakistan is the only state in the world which has come into existence in the name of Islam. We separated from a United One India demand and concept of the Hindu-dominated Indian National Congress Party. But unfortunately, no serious effort was made by the rulers of Pakistan during the last over 70 years of its existence to Islamize the country. Tens of thousands of people were killed during Partition of India. Sacrifices of lives and properties were made to get an Islamic Pakistan. But alas, it took 9 years for our Constituent Assembly to pass an Islamic Constitution in 1956. India had finalizedit Constitution within one year in 1948. Why it took 9 years in Pakistan. There was an ideological struggle between Secularism and Islamism. Our Seculare burreaucrat, politicians and Military Generals were opposed to an Islamic constitution They wanted to copy Ataturk Modl of Turkey to shun away all relgion from the political, social and economic life of Pakistan.But our early leaders like Quaid-e-Aam, Mohammad Ali Jinnah, Liaquat Ali Kha, Khawaja Naimuddin and Choudhry Mohammad Ali somehow succeeded in naming our country as 'Islamic Republic of Pakistan, in passing Objectives Resolution that Pakistan will be an Islamic State. Finally the Constitution was approved which included a clause in it, "No Laws will be made repugnant to Quran and Sunnah" But again it was soon abrogated by a Military dictator Ayub Khan in 1958 Then again Bhutto restored it in 1973.However no one cared to Islamize the country. Gen. Zia-ul-haq made an attempt by promulgating Islamic Hudood Laws after consulting with all available Islamic scholars in Pakistan and in the Arab world like Dr. Hasan Al-Duwlaibi and others. It was running successfully for 29 years without any complaint or protest from any quarter. But again another Secular Military dictator, Pervaiz Musharraf, abrogated it. See the story of this abrogation in this book I have pointed out all the flaws of this abrogation in it.Merits of Shariah have also been highlighted in the 3rd Part of this book.

Pursues an alternative account of the political disagreements between Hindus and Muslims in South Asia, conflicts too often described as the product of primordial and unchanging attachments to religion. The author suggests that the political struggles of India in the 1930s, the very decade in which the demand for Pakistan began to be articulated, should not be understood as the product of an inadequate or incomplete secularism, but as the clashing of competing secular agendas.
