Subject: THE PARTITION AND TODAY'S PAKISTAN
I would like to share this review of a book that my friend, Prof Ishtiaq Ahmed, had been working on for many years. I have not read it yet, but I know it is an important book that attempts at uncluttering the understanding of the pain and disaster of Partition. Away from Punjab, on the Eastern front, it may even help us understand the 'conspiracy' of the War Criminals of 1971 that we are finding so onerous to prosecute in Bangladesh. Thank you Ishtiaq, and congratulations!
<< There is yet another book added to the long list dealing with the Partition of the subcontinent. But this book is different. Entitled Punjab Bloodied, Partitioned and Cleansed, it is written by Mr. Ishtiaq Ahmed, a Pakistani based in Sweden. Mr. Ahmed is a professor of political science at the Stockholm University. He spent 15 years of research to write this book. The long endeavor is visible in the book. The result is rewarding. >>
