This collection of essays takes a fresh look at the contentious themes of democracy, development and security in Pakistan today. Arguing that the three are closely interlinked, the editors posit that the political and economic experience of the past 58 years shows that neither democracy nor capitalist development can survive without the other. Using a variety of Pakistani, Indian and Western sources, the distinguished contributors examine the internal and external problems of Pakistan with an eye on the challenges that democracy has encountered in the country.

General Zia Ul-Huq. 7. Pervez Musharraf: the commando president. 8. Jehad incorporated. 9. Proxy war. 10. Will Pakistan survive? Appendices. Index. "Jinnah never used the word jehad-his followers did-but he propagated such policies that can well be classified as jehad in the prevailing scenario. His direct action programme of August 1946 personified the jehadi in Jinnah. In many ways Jinnah was the most prominent jehadi in the Indian subcontinent. His concept of two nation politics helped him succeed single-handedly in creating the Muslim state of Pakistan-in the process leaving more Muslims in India than there are n Pakistan. The new state of Pakistan inherited the personality trait of its creator-distrust for Indians-which gradually transformed into hatred for India. "The post-Jinnah Pakistan carried forward his legacy. Zulfikar Ali Bhutto vowed a thousand years' war with India. Zia ul-Haq discretely told Rajiv Gandhi that his country too had the nuclear bomb. Now the self- elected Commando President Pervez Musharraf is playing the cracked record of Kashmir and threatening India with nukes. Musharraf is slowly but steadily contributing to what has been the utmost fear since the creation of Pakistan-the clash of civilizations. "Pakistan: From Jinnah to Jehad analyses the contemporary situation and looks at the future strategic scenario. Past, it is said, can foretell the future.

The VPM's Centre for International Studies held a National Seminar on India Pakistan Relations in Pursuit of Peace in Mumbai in April 2004. This volume is the edited updated version of papers submitted by fourteen eminent thinkers on different aspects of the subject. Low political issues such as the role of Bollywood were discussed by Mahesh Bhatt in his inaugural address while how cultural relations can help to improve relations was analysed by Maneesha Tikekar. P.M. Kamath argued in favour of the Government of India Instituting Mahatma Gandhi Fellowships to establish educational exchanges between the two countries. With a strong conviction that improved economic and trade relations through multilateral and bilateral forums would help in achieving better political understanding three economists Avadhoot Nadkarni Pushpa Trivedi and R.G. Gidadhubli discuss various avenues open for two nations to concretely act upon. But it is high political issues of security that have actually created roadblocks in the smooth flow of bilateral relations. Jasjit Singh Bharat Karnad Ramesh Babu Rajesh Basrur V. Balachandran S.C. Sharma Kshitij Prabha and V.M. Patil discuss major issues affecting bilateral politico security issues such as conflict over Jammu and Kashmir terrorism Siachen the issue of the gas pipeline through Pakistan and several others and each makes some suggestions to emerge from them with win win solutions. India Pakistan relations have seen long periods of conflicts like three wars over Kashmir the Kargil War and low intensity conflicts. A glimmer of hope was generated by the BJP led NDA Government when Atal Behari Vajpayee spoke of one more effort in April 2003 to find a key to peace and cooperation in the South Asian region. The book should be of immense value to scholars students of international relations journalists and policy makers alike to build on peace from the corridors of war. 333 pp. Codice articolo 57598

Hardcover. Condizione: Good. Contents Introduction. 1. Taliban arrives/Sreedhar. 2. Taliban as I saw it/Rakesh Sinha. 3. Taliban arsenal/Nilesh Bhagat. 4. Pakistan's strategic calculus/Sreedhar. 5. The Iran factor/Sreedhar. 6. Troubled CIS/O.N. Mehrotra. 7. Indo Afghan relations/Mahendra Ved. Appendix Select chronology. In this volume an attempt has been made to put the Taliban phenomenon in perspective. Some questions it seeks to answer are what is the Taliban. How did it originate. Who are its organizers. What is its support base internal and external. What is it's agenda. How do the Afghans and the world at large perceive it. What is the response of Afghanistan's immediate neighbours to this phenomenon. Why is it that the Taliban has failed to gain acceptance from even the OIC which represents the governments of Islamic nations. Why is it that NGOs and UN organizations like the UNDP and WHO may withdraw their operations from a Taliban governed Afghanistan. What are the prospects of the Taliban's success. What would be the shape of the world like if groups similar to the Taliban gain the reins of power elsewhere. It is generally not known that the Taliban took its birth on Pakistan soil for an agenda given to it by the military bureaucratic combine in Islamabad. That there are mutually self serving linkages between the narcotics traders in the golden crescent and the Taliban. That the majority of people within Afghanistan and most world governments dread the prospect of the Taliban succeeding in capturing power in Afghanistan. For those inside Afghanistan it would mean a society where cinema and music are banned girl children are forbidden to attend school women are debarred from working outside the home and men are compelled the grow beards. The world governments would be uncomfortable dealing with a Taliban controlled Afghanistan where the leadership does not represent the mainstream Pushtu leadership and where the traditional concept of consensus does not form the basis of administration. With the onset of winter the war in Afghanistan has taken temporary respite. In the interim new alignments are being worked out. Both the citizens of Afghanistan and the world at large are uncertain what is in the offing for the summer of 1997. The present volume written by a group of experts watching these developments including a first hand account of Taliban ruled Kabul should enable the reader to understand the whole Taliban phenomenon and provide an Indian perspective. 160 pp. Codice articolo 59739

Soft cover. Condizione: New. Pakistan sees India as the raison d'etre for going nuclear and considers its nuclear weapon as the ultimate guarantor of nation's existence and its sovereign entity providing for strategic equaliser of power asymmetry, deterrent of conventional war and facilitator of sub-conventional war. It was in May 1998 when both, India and Pakistan openly went nuclear. However, since then, the way Pakistan has been amassing fissile materials and developing nuclear arsenal including development of TNW, and their envisioned employment as weapon of warfighting, is a matter of concern for the world as a whole and India in particular. India's nuclear doctrine has never been reviewed since its introduction in January 2003. With increase in Pakistan's nuclear capabilities impacting security considerations for India, there is a raging debate with respect to India's doctrine of NFU and Massive Retaliation. So, the debates making round areIs there a need for India to review its Nuclear Doctrine?, Does Pakistan's TNW pose dangers to robustness of nuclear deterrence between India and Pakistan? Has Pakistan blocked the options for India to launch conventional operations and achieved its envisaged full spectrum deterrence? Is Pakistan's TNW Threat Credible? What is the Efficacy/Futility of TNW as Weapon of Warfighting? Should India also develop TNW? and Should India sign CTBT? The author has attempted to answer these questions and has been remarkably frank and honest in expressing his views. Akhilesh Kumar (now Brigadier) is an Infantry Officer commissioned into the 4th Battalion of The Rajputana Rifles in 1992 and is an alumnus of Sainik School Tilaiya, the National Defence Academy Khadakwasla (Pune) and Indian Military Academy at Dehradun.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. In this groundbreaking book, Pallavi Raghavan uses previously untapped archival sources to weave together new stories about the experiences of post-Partition state-making in South Asia. Through meticulous research, she challenges the existing wisdom about the preponderance of animosity and the rhetoric of war. The book shows how amity and a spirit of cordiality governed relations between the states of India and Pakistan in the first five years after Partition. Arguing that a hitherto overlooked set of considerations have to be integrated more closely into the analysis of bilateral dialogue, this book examines the developments leading to the No War correspondence between Nehru and Liaquat Ali Khan: the signing of a 'Minorities Pact' between the two prime ministers; and the early stages of the Indus Waters negotiations. It also explores the calculations of Indian and Pakistani delegates at a series of interdominion conferences held in the years after Partition. Codice articolo 133886
