Pakistan Studies is written for the Four-Year BS Degree programme, the Five-Year BE and LLB Degree programme, and the Two-Year Associate Degree (AD) programme. The second edition of this essential textbook covers the National Curriculum for Pakistan Studies (compulsory) course.
The second edition has been revised and updated and includes four new chapters. Chapter 24: 'The Role of the Majority Provinces'. The section on the Islamic Republic of Pakistan includes topics of current issues with the addition of three new chapters; Chapter 33: 'The Fourth PPP Government', Chapter 44: 'Energy Resources', and Chapter 45: 'The Environment'.
This is the first definitive study of Pakistan's history, culture, geography, the environment, and its development. The historical background of Pakistan and implications of the Cabinet Mission Plan, the political development of Pakistan, the break-up of 1971, and the nuclearization of Pakistan, are written in a way that provides a complete overview. The Foreign Relations section deals with the role of world powers during the wars fought by Pakistan and its relations with South Asian and Middle Eastern countries. The economy of Pakistan is detailed in its many phases: at creation, when Pakistan was not considered viable, to the 1960s, when the economy was upheld as a model, right up to the present-day challenges. In the section on Culture, the author explains why language became a politically charged issue.
