Synopsis

This book examines the political dimensions of Islam in pre divided Pakistan (1947-1971), one of the first new Muslim nations to commit itself to an Islamic political order and one in which the national debate on Islamic, political, and ideological issues has been the most persistent, focused, and rich, of any dialogues in the contemporary Muslim world.
