This book documents and highlights the Deobandi dimension of extremism and its implications for faith-based violence and terrorism. The specific identification of the radical Deobandi and Salafi identity of militants is useful to isolate them from the majority of peaceful Sunni and Shia Muslims.

A sweeping journey through the ebbs and flows of Pakistan’s history, from the ancient Indus Valley Civilization to contemporary times, this book not only uncovers the influences from Turkey, Persia, Arabia and Britain that have shaped this South Asian nation, but showcases the region’s diverse, rich tapestry of peoples, and Pakistan's pluralistic, multicultural society. Chequered Past, Uncertain Future describes the post-1947 shift – following the partition of India and the establishment of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan – as the country became more religiously conservative and autocratic, intensifying sectarian and ethnic divisions. For most of the country's history, the people of Pakistan have found themselves under the control of military dictators who suppress civil liberties and freedom of speech and action – a trend that persists today.

A number of studies of colonial Lahore in recent years have explored such themes as the city's modernity, its cosmopolitanism and the rise of communalism which culminated in the bloodletting of 1947. This first synoptic history moves away from the prism of the Great Divide of 1947 to examine the cultural and social connections which linked colonial Lahore with North India and beyond. In contrast to portrayals of Lahore as inward looking and a world unto itself, the authors argue that imperial globalisation intensified long established exchanges of goods, people and ideas. Ian Talbot and Tahir Kamran's book is reflective of concerns arising from the global history of Empire and the new urban history of South Asia. These are addressed thematically rather than through a conventional chronological narrative, as the book uncovers previously neglected areas of Lahore's history, including the links between Lahore's and Bombay's early film industries and the impact on the 'tourist gaze' of the consump--tion of both text and visual representation of India in newsreels and photographs.
