Language and Politics in Pakistan is an incisive and analytical study of the intimate linkages between language, politics and ethnicity in Pakistan.  It has objective and well-argued accounts of the many ethnic/language movements that have been a significant part of the history of the subcontinent.  It is an important contribution to understanding the history of post-Independence Pakistan and by extension, the social configurations of the Indian subcontinent.

Language and Politics in Pakistan has won two awards from the Government of Pakistan.
