A Testament of Sindh Ethnic and Religious Extremism: A Perspective
This book is an attempt to seriously and frankly comment on the current situation of Sindh, which became the victim of an ethnic conflagration when the children of the Muhajirs, or immigrants from India at the time of Partition, decided to agitate for their rights which they felt had been inexcusably withheld from them. Before the eyes of the perplexed Sindhis, the MQM burst forth with its list of claims and demands that led to the worst social and ethnic conflict ever witnessed in Sindh. Mr Korejo brings his own perspective to bear on this scenario, giving his analysis of who was responsible for the ethnic conflict and the religious militarism. But, in addition, he also delineates ways to bring back harmony to the province. His views might be controversial but are a much-needed criticism of what is happening in and to Sindh.

Selected Correspondence and Speeches of Liaquat Ali Khan, 1937–1947
Liaquat Ali Khan is one of the unsung heroes of the Pakistan Movement. He became Mohammad Ali Jinnah’s most trusted lieutenant, and in 1943 Jinnah called him his ‘right hand’. Almost twenty years younger than Jinnah, Liaquat established a closer working relationship with Jinnah than anyone else. Their personal lives shared a number of attributes and they both subscribed to modernist views. Jinnah was a Gladstonian liberal, and Liaquat was strongly influenced by the poetry and thoughts of Allama Iqbal. Both had been educated in Law at the Inns of Court in London, and although Jinnah established fame and wealth at the Bar, Liaquat did not practice law. Jinnah chose Liaquat as the General Secretary of the All-India Muslim League in 1936, and over the next decade they worked to establish the League as the political voice of Muslims in South Asia and to create Pakistan. Liaquat’s work with the League and in the creation of Pakistan remains largely unappreciated. Liaquat’s dedication to the cause of Muslims in India, to serving Mohammad Ali Jinnah and the League are illustrated in the correspondence between these two men and in Liaquat’s speeches.
