Pakistans transformation from a country once projected as a model of muslim enlightenment to a state now threatened by an islamist take over dominates the headlines many account for the change by pointing to pakistans controversial partnership with the united states since 9/11; others see it as a consequence of pakistans long history of authoritarian rule, which has marginalized liberal opinion and left the field open for inroads by the religious right farzana shaikh argues that while external influences and domestic politics have unquestionably shaped the direction of change, the countrys social and political decline is rooted primarily in uncertainty about the meaning of pakistan and the significance of being pakistani she shows how this has pre-empted a consensus on the role of islam in the public sphere, which has encouraged the spread of political islam it has also widened the gap between personal piety and public morality, corrupting the countrys economic foundations and tearing apart its social fabric more ominously still, it has given rise to a new and dangerous symbiosis between the countrys powerful armed forces and muslim extremists they have been rival contenders in the struggle to redefine the meaning of pakistan but their convergence, enhanced by internal and foreign conflicts, has led to the militarization of society and the islamization of the military drawing on her earlier work on the origins of pakistan, shaikh demonstrates how the culture and ideology that constrained indo-muslim politics in the years leading to partition in 1947 have left their mark on the country in this broad yet discriminating study, these insights from history are skilfully deployed to better understand pakistans troubled present

A Short History of the World by Christopher Lascelles
Description:
An interesting concept–condensing human history into 150 pages of readable prose–but unevenly executed. First, the positives. Lascelles correctly focused more space on recent history as that tends to be neglected in public schools and imperfectly understood by the populous. Also, his writing is readable, if opinionated, even sarcastic. Words like “unfortunately”, “inevitable” and “needlessly” betray his approach.
A History Of God by Karen Armstrong in Urdu خدا کی تاریخ مترجم یاسر جواد
Description:
Over 700,000 copies of the original hardcover and paperback editions of this stunningly popular book have been sold. Karen Armstrong’s superbly readable exploration of how the three dominant monotheistic religions of the world – Judaism, Christianity, and Islam – have shaped and altered the conception of God is a tour de force. One of Britain’s foremost commentators on religious affairs, Armstrong traces the history of how men and women have perceived and experienced God, from the time of Abraham to the present. From classical philosophy and medieval mysticism to the Reformation, the Enlightenment, and the modern age of skepticism, Armstrong performs the near miracle of distilling the intellectual history of monotheism into one compelling volume.

Ikigai: The Japanese Secret To A Long And Happy Life by Héctor García
*Los Angeles Times bestseller*
“If hygge is the art of doing nothing, ikigai is the art of doing something—and doing it with supreme focus and joy.” —New York Post
Bring meaning and joy to all your days with this internationally bestselling guide to the Japanese concept of ikigai (pronounced ee-key-guy)—the happiness of always being busy—as revealed by the daily habits of the world’s longest-living people.
*And from the same authors, don’t miss The Book of Ichigo Ichie—about making the most of every moment in your life.*
* * *
What’s your ikigai?
“Only staying active will make you want to live a hundred years.” —Japanese proverb
According to the Japanese, everyone has an ikigai—a reason for living. And according to the residents of the Japanese village with the world’s longest-living people, finding it is the key to a happier and longer life. Having a strong sense of ikigai—the place where passion, mission, vocation, and profession intersect—means that each day is infused with meaning. It’s the reason we get up in the morning. It’s also the reason many Japanese never really retire (in fact there’s no word in Japanese that means retire in the sense it does in English): They remain active and work at what they enjoy, because they’ve found a real purpose in life—the happiness of always being busy.
In researching this book, the authors interviewed the residents of the Japanese village with the highest percentage of 100-year-olds—one of the world’s Blue Zones. Ikigai reveals the secrets to their longevity and happiness: how they eat, how they move, how they work, how they foster collaboration and community, and—their best-kept secret—how they find the ikigai that brings satisfaction to their lives. And it provides practical tools to help you discover your own ikigai. Because who doesn’t want to find happiness in every day?
World History by B. V. Rao
Asia in the past nurtured great civilisations and cultures, some of which withstood the onslaughts of the mighty West. After suffering from the evils of colonial rule, Asia today is poised to occupy the centre stage of the world arena, with India, China and Japan playing leading role. In this context, it is all the more necessary for college and university students in Asia and the west to acquaint themselves with the history of Asia. Hence this book. The book is different from others of this genre, as it connects the ancient and medieval Asia with the modern world. It ideals with the history of each country in its geographical setting with the interaction and impact of neighbouring countries. Early migrations, settlements, formation of kingdoms and empires, socio-economic aspects of Islamic conquests and the advent of Western powers are all accounted for. The modern period (up to 2004) is treated in a detailed manner covering topics like colonisation, impact of Western civilisation, the rise of nationalism and the achievement of independence. The current history highlights subversion of democracies, ushering in of military rule, ethnic conflicts, movements for the restoration of democracy, oppression of minorities, economic issues, nuclear proliferation and the war on terror all in a fascinating manner with maps, bibliography, and an index to stimulate reader’s interest.
A History Of Modern Europe 3rd 1789-1991 by H.L. Peacock
Modern European history written in the good ol’ academic manner. It’s useful for looking up important names, dates, and events but there is little of the insight into the processes of history and the people who make them which we have come to expect from history writings in recent times. This is good as long as you treat it like a reference point to read up on bits of European history you know little about.
