Jinnah, Pakistan and Islamic Identity

Description

Each age needs to rework its incredible men of the past. Akbar Ahmed, by uncovering Jinnah’s human face close by his chivalrous accomplishment, the two makes this legislator open to the current age and delivers his enormity even more clear than previously.

Four men formed the finish of British guideline in India: Nehru, Gandhi, Mountbatten and Jinnah. We know a lot about the initial three, however Mohammed Ali Jinnah, the originator of Pakistan, has generally either been disregarded or, on account of Richard Attenborough’s massively effective film about Gandhi, depicted as a cool neurotic, bowed on the bleeding segment of India. Akbar Ahmed’s significant examination reviews the parity.

Drawing on history, semiotics and social human studies just as more customary personal procedures, Akbar S. Ahmad presents an adjusted image of the man and shows his pertinence as contemporary Islam discusses elective types of political initiative in a world ruled (in any event in the Western media) by figures like Colonel Gadaffi and Saddam Hussein.
