Jinnah,
Pakistan and Islamic Identity : The Search for Saladin
by Akbar S. Ahmed, Ahmed Akbar
August 1997 marked the 50th anniversary of India and Pakistan's independence
from Great Britain. That hard-won independence, however, came with a high
price: a bloody partition of the subcontinent into Hindu-majority India
and the Muslim state of Pakistan. Almost as soon as Jawaharlal Nehru pronounced
India a new nation, the butchery began--a bloodbath in which millions perished
and for which there are still no exact figures. What Mohandas K. Gandhi
was to India, Mohammed Ali Jinnah was to Pakistan--the architect of its
statehood. In Jinnah, Pakistan and Islamic Identity, Akbar S. Ahmed shines
the spotlight on a man whose character, he feels, has been distorted by
the official Pakistani line. Though Jinnah was clearly interested in ensuring
a homeland for Muslims, Ahmed's book makes clear that this London-trained
lawyer was no Islamic fundamentalist. The author's take on Indian-Pakistani
history, his account of Jinnah's involvement, and his ideas about the future
of Pakistan and the Islamic world are both thought-provoking and important.
