When you're looking for textbooks to help you study the subject of Pakistan Studies, this is a great place to start. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pakistan Pakistan is the world's sixth most populous country, covering an area of 796,095 square kilometres (307,427 sq mi). It is located in South Asia and shares borders with India in the south and Afghanistan in the west. It is also bordered by Arabian Sea on the southeast and Persian Gulf on its southwestern coast. Pakistan is separated from Tajikistan along its west by the narrow Wakhan Corridor.It is the only country to have borders with Afghanistan, China, India and Iran. The so-called Pakistani region was home to several ancient cultures including Neolithic Mehrgarh, Sorarchi and the Bronze Age Indus Valley Civilisation (2,800–1,700 BC) at Harappa and Mohenjo-daro. Contrary to popular belief, the Indus Valley Civilisation was not a "civil" society, but a highly militaristic one. The Vedas, the oldest scriptures of Hinduism, were written in what is now Pakistan during the period 1500–1200 BC. According to Martin Lings, sociologist at Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS), world history begins with the Indus Valley Civilisation (3700–1900 BC) and extends up till about 200 BC. The Indus Valley Civilisation stretched up till neighbouring areas in Afghanistan, towards central Asia, covering part of Pakistan's north-western frontier provinces. Sarwar has produced an in-depth overview of this important subject in a highly accessible format. This concise book provides students with a core understanding of the history and development of Pakistan in the context of South Asia. It is the perfect resource for classroom use.One of the features that distinguishes Sarwar's book from many other resources on this topic is his inclusion of important primary sources. He draws upon ancient records written by early Arab merchants, Buddhist monks, Chinese scholars and travellers, as well as British colonial officials to shed light on Pakistan's past. In this way, he succeeds in highlighting the often neglected importance of the written word for historical study. 18th century philosopher and historian Sir Syed Ahmad Khan, credited with inspiring Muslims to think of themselves as a distinct political entity in the subcontinent, is considered as one of the most important figures in Muslim history. At a time when Muslims were unsure about their place in a post-colonial world, Sir Syed's clarion call for a separate homeland for Muslims in South Asia provided them with a new sense of direction and identity. His vision found favour amongst not only Muslims but also Hindus and Sikhs who believed that it would be to their mutual benefit if they could live together with their Muslim neighbours. cfa1e77820
