Synopsis

Explore how Islamic ideology transformed Pakistan's political landscape.
Islamisation of the Politics of Pakistan is a comprehensive examination of how religious nationalism reshaped the Pakistani state from its founding to the present day. This meticulously researched work traces the historical trajectory of political Islam in Pakistan, analysing the pivotal role of military regimes, democratic governments, and Islamist parties in institutionalising Islamic law and religious governance.
From the Objectives Resolution to the implementation of Sharia law under General Zia-ul-Haq, this book provides critical insight into the forces that drove Islamisation. The author examines how successive governments leveraged Islamic ideology to consolidate power, the consequences for Pakistan's legal system and society, and the emergence of sectarianism and religious extremism. Drawing on decades of expertise in South Asian politics and law enforcement, the author offers an insider's perspective on the complex interplay between state, religion, and democracy in one of the world's most strategically important nations.
Essential reading for students, scholars, policymakers, and anyone seeking to understand Pakistan's political identity and the broader implications of political Islam in South Asia.
