We ran through the history behind the rise and fall of one of Pakistan's largest student organisations, the Islami Jamiat Taleba (IJT). In fulfillment of this directive, modern texts of Pakistani history are centred around the following themes: 1. To guide students towards the ultimate goal of Pakistan – the creation of a completely Islamised State. Although the modern nation of Pakistan was but fifty-three years old in 2000, it has territorial areas and tribal populations whose histories date back many centuries; thus Pakistan has both an ancient and a relatively new identity. However, because the territory that is now Pakistan has a history that goes back several thousand years, the area has a history that forms part of the present identity of Pakistan. Meanwhile, the governments representing the different sailors on board — six Indians, nine Yemenis, four Ghanaians, two Sudanese, two Pakistanis and one Filipino — were either unable or unwilling to mount a rescue attempt. In Pakistan, the timing of this move with the UN is a very smart move to try to keep the military boxed in as an observer of the elections which could mark the first time in the modern history of Pakistan that one civilian government succeeds another without military intervention. The modern history of Pakistan is filled with plots and sub-plots that confound easy analysis. Coventry University historian Talbot piles fact upon grim fact to show how Pakistan, born in suffering, has yet to heal the wounds of its past. Yet, flood aid has been too slow and too little. So, too,was the multinational anti-piracy force, which All of which allowed the Iceberg 1 to gain the dubious honour of becoming the longest hijack case in modern history. Indeed, most of Pakistan's modern history has been under military rule. Last month, while other pyalas scuttled off to the Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf's (PTI's) Karachi jalsa with visions of free potty training seats in their heads, I stayed at home with a copy of Imran Khan's Pakistan, A Personal History. (Mosaic Intelligence Report: August 20, 2010) Pakistan's flood crisis may require the largest aid effort in modern history. In the modern history of Pakistan, as in the larger development of Islamic ideas, the relationship between religion and ideology is neither one of identity nor instrumentality. Pakistan: A Modern History, by Ian Talbot. This primary source is essential to understanding the modern history of Islam in Pakistan and India and valuable for research on British diplomacy and the history of attempts to deal with terrorism in the colonies. The UN's Special Rapporteur on Human Rights and Counterterrorism, Ben Emmerson, just released a press release on his trip to Pakistan which is part of his inquiry into the use of drones. The populist view of Pakistan in the west is fairly stereotypical with fundamentalism, violence and absence of true democracy as the central themes.
