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 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.

Inglorious Empire: What the British Did to India by Shashi Tharoor
Description:
In the eighteenth century, India’s share of the world economy was as large as Europe’s. By 1947, it had decreased six-fold. In Inglorious Empire, Shashi Tharoor tells the real story of the British in India, from the arrival of the East India Company in 1757 to the end of the Raj, and reveals how Britain’s rise was built upon its depredations in India. India was Britain’s biggest cash cow, and Indians literally paid for their own oppression. Britain’s Industrial Revolution was founded on India’s deindustrialisation, and the destruction of its textile industry. Under the British, millions died from starvation–including 4 million in 1943 alone, after national hero Churchill diverted Bengal’s food stocks to the war effort. Beyond conquest and deception, the Empire blew rebels from cannons, massacred unarmed protesters and entrenched institutionalised racism. British imperialism justified itself as enlightened despotism for the benefit of the governed. Tharoor takes on and demolishes the arguments for the Empire, demonstrating how every supposed imperial ‘gift’, from the railways to the rule of law, was designed in Britain’s interests alone. This incisive reassessment of colonialism exposes to devastating effect the inglorious reality of Britain’s stained Indian legacy.

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?

A Concise History of Pakistan by Muhammad Raza Kazmi
Description:
This is a comprehensive one-volume history of Pakistan, a country that lies at the centre of the world’s strategic concerns. Being published as Pakistan completes its sixtieth year as a nation state the book covers contemporary crises in the perspective of the subcontinent’s ancient and medieval history to explain how Muslim nationalism emerged and how the community interacted with the other communities in the region.
Covering the centuries from Mehergarh to Musharraf, the author breaches the confines of political history to depict the intellectual, economic, diplomatic, and cultural history of Pakistan. Topics that have become the subject of controversy such as the 1971 Poland Resolution and the 1972 Simla Agreement are highlighted in boxes. The book is thematically addressed, but it provides underpinning by interspersing personality profiles of the individuals who shaped the course of events over the centuries. This gallery includes Amir Khusro as the embodiment of a distinctive Indo-Muslim culture; Mahatma Gandhi and Pandit Nehru, whose lofty ideals nevertheless resulted in Partition; M.A. Jinnah, who is credited with almost single-handedly creating the state of Pakistan; and the volatile but tragic figure of Z.A. Bhutto.
In covering economic history, the author has also treated unorthodox subjects such as the rise and fall of the Bank of Credit and Commerce International and the Kalabagh Dam controversy. In diplomatic history the author presents little known material on the 1971 War and in intellectual history he examines the circumstances that caused piety to develop into terror. Replete with striking interpretations based on neglected but authentic sources, this book breaks fresh ground.
