The Chaukhandi Tombs is among the largest and best-preserved necropolis in the world. Being unique in the whole Islamic world and evolving purely from local traditions, these tombs render a most original and independent contribution to Islamic sepulchral architecture and ornamental sculpture. This book contains the first systematic study and analyses of group funerary structures, comprising some fifty cemeteries of varying size, with approximately 2000 monuments. It is the first book devoted exclusively to this subject; the author’s own fieldwork and documentation having made the work authoritative. The author has used the style-critical method to delineate the particular features of Chaukhandi as well as to trace the features that link it to the architectural tradition of Gujrat and Western India.

This book highlights the diversity of voices, traditions, and approaches that are weaving themselves into an anti-nuclear and peace movement in India and Pakistan. In these essays, written before, during, and after the May 1998 nuclear explosions, scholars and activists from the two countries attempt to understand and challenge the nuclearization of South Asia. The essays are an act of resistance against governments that see nuclear weapons as a currency of power, as symbols of prestige, sources of security, and moments of glory in an otherwise dismal contemporary history. The collection includes Mahatma Gandhi’s response to the atomic bombing of Hiroshima as well as writings by Eqbal Ahmad, Arundhati Roy, Pervez Hoodbhoy, Beena Sarwar, Amartya Sen, and veteran anti-nuclear activists, academics, and journalists.

The Armed Forces of PakistanSince the creation of Pakistan in 1947, the armed forces have played a central role. This book describes the nature of Pakistan’s defence capabilities and the forces poised to change them in the twenty-first century. It surveys the forces locked in conflict over the nuclear option and examines the three types of pressures Pakistan continues to face—militarization, secularization and Islamic fundamentalism. Sharing a border with Afghanistan, where an internationally fuelled civil war has given way to a war against international terror, and India, with which Pakistan has faced three wars, Pakistan’s armed forces continue to play an important role both internally and externally. The author has assessed the role of the armed forces in the context of defense policy and strategy, and its social and political role. He also provides the most comprehensive description of all three forces, the army, navy and air force.

Causes and Consequences of South Asia-s Nuclear TestsFrom an account of the trials and tribulations of the young recruit to the observations of a mature aviator, Air Commodore Mansoor Shah has much to offer in these reminiscences of life in the nascent Royal Indian and Pakistan Air Forces. He is able to shed light on the development of the PAF as well as on the Pakistan Army and Navy from a favourable vantage point, thanks to the wide range of this assignments. The value of this book is enhanced by the fact that there are not many other accounts of the RIAF and the early PAF by South Asians who served in both organizations, and the number of individuals who were capable of creating such a record has been pruned by time. The wealth of detail the author offers in this book promises to keep both airmen and general readers enthralled.
