Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 491
Book Description
In this exhaustive study of the NWFP and its adjoining area of Afghanistan, Raghvendra Singh argues that with an increasingly powerful China knocking on India's door, it is imperative to recognize that the docile acceptance of NWFP's loss in 1947 may have serious consequences for India's security in times to come.

Pakistan's Troubled Frontier
Author: Jamestown Foundation (Washington, D.C.)
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780981690520
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Pakistan's northwest frontier has become a breeding ground for a growing Islamic militancy that threatens the stability of the country. Instability in Pakistan's federally administered tribal areas and North-West frontier province also threatens NATO's strategic Khyber Pass lifeline to Afghanistan, where 37,000 U.S. troops are attempting to contain an expanding Taliban insurgency. Pakistan's Troubled Frontier offers a gripping snapshot of the militants and movements threatening a region plunging into turmoil. Arriving at a time when the United States is dramatically increasing its presence in Afghanistan and conducting a careful review of its policies and goals in the border region, the book is a substantial contribution to understanding the long-term future of U.S. security interests in South and Central Asia. "An essential source for anyone trying to understand what is happening in every single region of the tribal belt, who the main players are, their links to al-Qaeda and the Taliban and what their future aims may be. A brilliant and impressive addition to a subject of which little is known."--Ahmed Rashid, author of Descent into Chaos: The United States and the Failure of Nation Building in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Central Asia "A timely guide for the policymaker, the scholar, and the journalist... unequaled in its range and comprehensiveness."--Stephen P. Cohen, author of The Idea of Pakistan

Living Islam
Author: Magnus Marsden
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9781139448376
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
Popular representations of Pakistan's North West Frontier have long featured simplistic images of tribal blood feuds, fanatical religion, and the seclusion of women. The rise to power of the radical Taliban regime in neighbouring Afghanistan enhanced the region's reputation as a place of anti-Western militancy. Magnus Marsden is an anthropologist who has immersed himself in the lives of the Frontier's villagers for more than ten years. His evocative study of the Chitral region challenges all these stereotypes. Through an exploration of the everyday experiences of both men and women, he shows that the life of a good Muslim in Chitral is above all a mindful life, enhanced by the creative force of poetry, dancing and critical debate. Challenging much that has been assumed about the Muslim world, this 2005 study makes a powerful contribution to the understanding of religion and politics both within and beyond the Muslim societies of southern Asia.
