Pakistan: The Struggle Within

Description

Does democracy stand a chance in Pakistan? In the six decades since its founding, the country has endured four military coups and spent more than half that time under military rule. Even during periods of democratic governance, the military maintained significant power and influence, often supporting militant groups and contributing to terrorism.

The military’s misguided policies and the failures of civilian governments have led to internal chaos, painting Pakistan as a haven for Islamic terrorists and the Taliban. Pakistan: The Struggle Within delves into the country’s geopolitical landscape, ethnic conflicts, and civil-military relations, offering an in-depth analysis of its present and future, with significant implications for both India and the global community.

This book is a collection of essays by some of the world’s leading scholars and analysts on Pakistan. It sheds light on the ongoing struggles Pakistan faces regarding its sovereignty, identity, and survival as a nation-state.
