Description
This book is a collection of essays by young researchers at Observer Research Foundation.
The essays offer a fresh insight into the working of a nation that has remained a turbulent enigma to most of the world. The book explores several critical issues confronting today's Pakistan, highlighting in the process the dilemma of a nation which brandishes nuclear weapons to gain legitimacy but is fast hurtling towards a future which is as uncertain as the past.
Pakistan is not an easy nation to understand. These essays, written with clarity and concern, provide glimpses of a nation that was conceived as a Land of Pure.
Observer Research Foundation is a public policy think-tank that aims to influence formulation of policies for building a strong and prosperous India. ORF pursues these goals by providing informed and productive inputs, in-depth research and stimulating discussions.
