Product Description
When Pakistan was created in 1947 the country sought to provide a new homeland for South Asia's Muslims the largest religious minority in the subcontinent at the time. At first Pakistan welcomed all its new citizens Muslim and non-Muslim alike; its inclusivity was important since 23 per cent of Pakistan's population before independence was non-Muslim. Today however non-Muslims comprise a mere 3 per cent of the population and in recent years all except those following an exclusivist version of Sunni Islam have been subjected to increasing levels of persecution and violence.
In Purifying the Land of the Pure Farahnaz Ispahani shows how the process of creating an Islamic state began soon after Independence but it was General Zia-ul-Haq's military regime that started promoting an intolerant version of Sunni Islam at the expense of other denominations. Ispahani stresses how the contradictions at the heart of the Pakistani state-building project have fuelled intolerance.
This revised edition including a new preface and a new chapter brings the story of the persecution of religious minorities in Pakistan up to date.
