Description

Delusional States: Feeling Rule and Development in Pakistan’s Northern Frontier By Nosheen Ali – Book(Pdf).

The first in-depth study of state power and civil struggle in Gilgit-Baltistan – the only Shia district in Sunni-dominated Pakistan and the disputed border area that forms part of the disputed Kashmir. For 70 years, political tensions in Kashmir have locked India and Pakistan into brutal wars and ethnic hatreds fueled by hatred. This book explains how in this story of hatred there are other stories – of love and betrayal, of honesty and blame, and of beauty and fear. Putting these emotions at the center of its analysis, the Missing Nations reconsiders the state citizen’s relationship in a profound and profound way, providing a finely ethnographic analysis of the power and subjugation of Pakistan of the moment. A powerful contribution to the study of democratic and Islamic society in South Asia.
