From Purdah to Parliament
A Simple And Absorbing Narrative Of The Life And Times Of Shaista Suhrawardy Ikramullah. The Account Covers The Days Of The British Raj And Its Aftermath.
Behind the Veil
Originally published in 1953, Behind the Veil captures the splendor and opulence of "life behind the veil": the women's world where over the centuries in the courts of the Mughal Kings of Delhi and Lucknow, unobserved and unattended by men, many of Pakistan and India's customs and ceremonies evolved. Shaista Ikramullah's exquisite collection of essays examines how in this women's world the vanished glory of the past lived on. It is in the pageantry of the wedding ceremonies, in the dazzle of the jewelry, and in the variety of dresses that one still finds the magic of the Orient and the East.
Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy
Perhaps the only politician to straddle the East and West wings of Pakistan, Suhrawardy was well aware of the centrifugal tendencies that threatened to unmake the new nation. As such, his entire career after Independence was devoted to removing the growing misunderstandings between the two wings. Ikramullah shows how the events that culminated in the collapse of democracy and the establishment of military rule in 1958 had their beginnings in the ruling cliques's maneuverings to keep Suhrawardy out of power. Their success, unfortunately, meant the end of efforts to bridge the differences between East and West Pakistan which resulted in, just eight years after the death of Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy, the secession of East Pakistan from the West to form the independent state of Bangladesh.

Parday Say Parliament Tak
This is a simple but absorbing narrative of a Muslim woman growing up in India at the end of the Raj. The rapidity of change in politics, culture, and thought that marked this period are reflected in the life of this lady, the author of the book.
