The Military and Denied Development in the Pakistani Punjab
This book focuses on the retrogressive agrarian interventions by the Pakistani military in rural Punjab and explores the social resentment and resistance it triggered, potentially undermining the consensus on a security state in Pakistan.

Accompanying earlier work on military involvement in industry, commerce, finance and real estate, the authors’ research contributes to a wider understanding of military intervention, revealing its hand in various sectors of the economy and, consequently, its gains in power and economic autonomy.

The Punjab--an area now divided between Pakistan and India--experienced significant economic growth under British rule from the second half of the nineteenth century. This expansion was founded on the construction of an extensive network of canals in the western parts of the province. The ensuing agricultural settlement transformed the previously barren area into one of the most important regions of commercial agriculture in South Asia. Nevertheless, Imran Ali argues that colonial strategy distorted the development of what came to be called the "bread basket" of the Indian subcontinent. This comprehensive survey of British rule in the Punjab demonstrates that colonial policy making led to ma...

Regional Geography of Pakistan
This book provides an integrated view of each of the four provinces of Pakistan, considered the four micro regions, owing to their relative internal homogeneity and distinctiveness from the adjacent regions. Each chapter of the book deals with a specific province, its physical environment, historic antecedents, contemporary social and economic organization and potential for future growth. This volume presents an in-depth study of Punjab, stressing on its transformation from a barren pastureland to rich, fertile agricultural land.
