A detailed and graphic personal and family history within a national and international context. It mirrors and brings to life the modern and contemporary history of the Indian sub-continent and of India and Pakistan, and the dramatic birth-struggles of both major nation states dominating South Asia. And the complex racial, religious and ethnic mix was central to turbulent politics and Islamic identity is a factor in international politics. The overshadowing influence of the British Indian Empire was a constant factor and sets the context. The huge upheaval and tragedy of Partition is at the heart of the story with the flight of an influential Muslim population, advanced in education and culture and prominent in the professions, to Pakistan to form a new state, liberal in form but Islamic in confession. Here is a vivid and attractive personal family life followed by distinguished state service, laying bare the modern political history of Pakistan from the inside with sharp and decisive insight, including the promise and tragedy of the Bhutto era, the excesses and cruel extremism of the Ziaul Haq regime, and the struggle of the return to democracy in Pakistan.

The volume delves into the underlying reasons of persistent problems confronting India’s foreign policy-makers, as well as foreign-policy interface with defence and domestic policies. This book will be indispensable to students, scholars and teachers of South Asian studies, international relations, political science, and modern Indian history.

Enclosed is a two-part novel inspired by the unusual goings-on in the Promised Land in the last two centuries BC. The first part of this book is set in the 160’s BC, when Israel was under Greek control and a Royal Decree promising death to any Jews who didn’t follow Greek ways had just been issued. From the mire, a prophecy emerged which predicted that a Messiah would come and liberate them, and true to its word, Judas Maccabeus appeared. He led a paltry band of under-armed and ill-equipped Jews against the mighty Greek army and, against all the odds, vanquished the enemy. Due to his heroics, many thought that he was the manifestation of the prophecy … many believed that Judas was the Messiah. The second part of the book is also included and is set around the time of Christ. Times had been good for the Jews, but the Roman menace was closing in. As they turned the screws, the Maccabees started to lose their shine and so the prophecy was rewritten. This led to a swathe of wannabe messiahs emerging to claim the title. Roman intervention leads to the most Western of these contenders being accepted as the true messiah. This prophecy is real. It had been lost to time until this book. Its potency inspired the rebellion against the Greeks and then, 160 years later, led to the phenomenon of messianic contenders that emerged at the time of Jesus. And while some of the ideas expressed within these pages may seem extraordinary, they reanimate what actually happened 2,000 years ago and reveal the great effect Roman manipulation had on history. The Romans were master propagandists and their actions in those distant times have had a huge impact on the World in which we live. Conspiracy theories are a dime a dozen these days, usually based on spurious ideas, but this is the opposite. This was a conspiracy, but one that has been so well covered up that no-one will believe it.

The Band of Brothers, the third book in the Super-Twins series, continues the story of Robbie White and Nathan Deane, their mate John McAllister, and foster brother Peter. Together with their newly-acquired friends, Shane, Darren, Ryan and Sam, they comprise an odd-ball assortment of teenage mavericks and misfits who unite to become "The Band of Brothers." Along with the highs and lows of everyday life at home and at school, the Band of Brothers find themselves involved in highly dramatic situations. A flood in which Peter saves Shane from drowning, a dangerous confrontation with shooters in a national park, and a car accident in which Sam almost loses his life are just some of the riveting events in this unforgettable coming-of-age story of enduring friendships.

This book is a sweeping historical survey of the origins, development and nature of state power. It demonstrates that Eurasia is home to a dominant tradition of arbitrary rule mediated through military, civil and ecclesiastical servants and a marginal tradition of representative and responsible government through autonomous institutions. The former tradition finds expression in hierarchically organized and ideologically legitimated continental bureaucratic states while the latter manifests itself in the state of laws. In recent times, the marginal tradition has gained in popularity and has led to continental bureaucratic states attempting to introduce democratic and constitutional reforms. These attempts have rarely altered the actual manner in which power is exercised by the state and its elites given the deeper and historically rooted experience of arbitrary rule. Far from being remote, the arbitrary culture of power that emerged in many parts of the world continues to shape the fortunes of states. To ignore this culture of power and the historical circumstances that have shaped it comes at a high price, as indicated by the ongoing democratic recession and erosion of liberal norms within states that are democracies.

Focusing on the culturally and historically rich Siraiki-speaking region, often tagged as ‘South Punjab’, this book discusses the ways in which Siraiki creative writers have transformed into political activists, resisting the self-imposed domination of the Punjabi–Mohajir ruling elite. Influenced by Sufi poets, their poetry takes the shape of both protest and dialogue. This book reflects upon the politics of identity and the political complications which are a result of colonisation and later, neo-colonisation of Pakistan. It challenges the philosophy of Pakistan — a state created for Muslims — which is now taking the shape of religious fanaticism, while disregarding ethnic and linguistic issues such as that of Siraiki.

Making of Martyrs unravels an epic saga of populist politics in the postcolonial Indian subcontinent. Indira Gandhi, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Sheikh Mujibur Rahman were towering figures and have been simultaneously loved and hated in equal measure. During their heyday, each of these leaders garnered extraordinary power and charisma. Their followers, admirers and loyal supporters continue to idolise and romanticise them, yet in the eyes of their critics they were ruthless, power-hungry tyrants and partisan villains. These dichotomies remain irreconcilable since their followers venerate them as a model for the future and their critics relegate them to a haunted past. Drawing on years of research, Faisal Khosa explores the turbulent lives and times of these three leaders and gives us a vivid account of their politics and personalities.
