The Loss of Hindustan

The Invention of India

By: Manan Ahmed Asif

Shortlisted for the Cundill History Prize “Remarkable and pathbreaking...A radical rethink of colonial historiography and a compelling argument for the reassessment of the historical traditions of Hindustan.” —Mahmood Mamdani “The brilliance of Asif’s book rests in the way he makes readers think about the name ‘Hindustan’...Asif’s focus is Indian history but it is, at the same time, a lens to look at questions far bigger.” —Soni Wadhwa, Asian Review of Books “Remarkable...Asif’s analysis and conclusions are powerful and poignant.” —Rudrangshu Mukherjee, The Wire “A tremendous contribution...This is not only a book that you must read, but also one that you must chew over and debate.” —Audrey Truschke, Current History Did India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh have a shared regional identity prior to the arrival of Europeans in the late fifteenth century? Manan Ahmed Asif tackles this contentious question by inviting us to reconsider the work and legacy of the influential historian Muhammad Qasim Firishta, a contemporary of the Mughal emperors Akbar and Jahangir. Inspired by his reading of Firishta and other historians, Asif seeks to rescue our understanding of the region from colonial narratives that emphasize difference and division. Asif argues that a European understanding of India as Hindu has replaced an earlier, native understanding of India as Hindustan, a home for all faiths. Turning to the subcontinent’s medieval past, he uncovers a rich network of historians of Hindustan who imagined, studied, and shaped their kings, cities, and societies. The Loss of Hindustan reveals how multicultural Hindustan was deliberately eclipsed in favor of the religiously partitioned world of today. A magisterial work with far reaching implications, it offers a radical reinterpretation of how India came to its contemporary political identity.

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

A Book of Conquest

The Chachnama and Muslim Origins in South Asia

By: Manan Ahmed Asif

The question of how Islam arrived in India remains markedly contentious in South Asian politics. Standard accounts center on the Umayyad Caliphate’s incursions into Sind and littoral western India in the eighth century CE. In this telling, Muslims were a foreign presence among native Hindus, sowing the seeds of a mutual animosity that presaged the subcontinent’s partition into Pakistan and India many centuries later. But in a compelling reexamination of the history of Islam in India, Manan Ahmed Asif directs attention to a thirteenth-century text that tells the story of Chach, the Brahmin ruler of Sind, and his kingdom’s later conquest by the Muslim general Muhammad bin Qasim in 712 CE. The Chachnama has long been a touchstone of Indian history, yet it is seldom studied in its entirety. Asif offers a close and complete analysis of this important text, untangling its various registers and genres in order to reconstruct the political vision at its heart. Asif challenges the main tenets of the Chachnama’s interpretation: that it is a translation of an earlier Arabic text and that it presents a history of conquest. Debunking both ideas, he demonstrates that the Chachnama was originally Persian and, far from advancing a narrative of imperial aggression, is a subtle and sophisticated work of political theory, one embedded in both the Indic and Islamic ethos. This social and intellectual history of the Chachnama is an important corrective to the divisions between Muslim and Hindu that so often define Pakistani and Indian politics today.

Disrupted City

Walking the Pathways of Memory and History in Lahore

By: Manan Ahmed Asif

A stunning history of Pakistan’s cultural and intellectual capital, from one of the preeminent scholars of South Asia The city of Lahore was more than one thousand years old when it went through a violent schism. As the South Asian subcontinent was partitioned in 1947 to gain freedom from Britain’s colonial hold, and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan was formed, the city’s large Hindu and Sikh populations were pushed toward India, and an even larger Muslim refugee population settled in the city. This was just the latest in a long history of the city’s making and unmaking. Over the centuries, the city has kept a firm grip on the imagination of travelers, poets, writers, and artists. More recently, it has been journalists who have been drawn to the city as a focal point for a nation that continues to grab international headlines. For this book, acclaimed historian Manan Ahmed Asif brings to life a diverse and vibrant world by walking the city again and again over the course of many years. Along the way he joins Sufi study circles and architects doing restoration in the medieval parts of Lahore and speaks with a broad range of storytellers and historians. To this Asif juxtaposes deep analysis of the city’s centuries-old literary culture, noting how it reverberates among the people of Lahore today. To understand modern Pakistan requires understanding its cultural capital, and Disrupted City uses Lahore’s cosmopolitan past and its fractured present to provide a critical lens to challenge the grand narratives of the Pakistani nation-state and its national project of writing history.

Surgeon Across the Miles from Bombay to Boston

By: S. Asif Razvi MD, MBA, FACS

Autobiography of a surgeon who migrated from Bombay to Boston at a very young age for specialty post-graduate training in surgery. He established a successful surgical practice and became a recognized figure in the Boston medical community. He had an interesting career spanning over 47 years of practice. He has shed light on the discrimination he faced, medical malpractice suits, a fine balance between raising a family and building a medical practice. He touches upon landing a non-speaking role on the television show "Frasier" and his disappointment in not getting more Hollywood acting roles. He built a reputable career in interfaith work over the years and is proud of co-founding an interfaith youth leadership group with the Anti Defamation League of Boston. His interfaith work got him an invitation to the Obama White House for a meeting. He also reflects on his deep interest in gardening and landscaping which has helped him a great deal in his post-retirement past-time.

The Doctor from the East

By: Asif Javed

Good writings defy time and immediate surroundings to sustain their appeal. The entrancing aura of a well-knit article or story is lasting. Surely, Hardy's rustic Tess or Jude couldn't be out of sync in the year 2020 for technology savvy readers obsessed with Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and accompanying high-tech spinoffs. Without being extravagant with words, one may say the same is true of Dr. Asif Javed's writings. Insightful and instructive, they are studded with revealing facts that are well documented to testify to the innate truth. The gifted writer tells us of the life and time of the Bronte Sisters, Ibn Batuta, Leo Tolstoy, Rudyard Kipling, Nawab of Kalabagh, Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto et al. In more ways than one, the articles remind the reader of Dale Carnegie's 'Little Known Facts about Well-Known People'. Today, he is one of the most fluent and readable purveyors of the English language in the Pakistani American community. His writings have ranged from Punjab politics to port-partition Indian cinema, to English literature, to the Tsarist wars in Dagestan. All the time, he manages to convey, seemingly dense subjects in a seamless flowing style, making his writings a treat to read.

Jobs Undone

Reshaping the Role of Governments toward Markets and Workers in the Middle East and North Africa

By: Asif M. Islam,Dalal Moosa,Federica Saliola

A decade since the spark of the Arab Spring, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region continues to suffer from limited creation of more and better jobs. Youth face idleness and unemployment. For those who find jobs, informality awaits. Few women attempt to enter the world of work at all. Meanwhile, the available jobs are not those of the future. These labor market outcomes are being worsened by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. 'Jobs Undone: Reshaping the Role of Governments toward Markets and Workers in the Middle East and North Africa' explores ways to break these impasses, drawing on original research, survey data, wide-ranging literature, and young entrepreneurial voices from the region. The report finds that a prominent reason behind MENA's unmet jobs challenge is a lack of market contestability in the formal private sector. Few firms in the region enter the market, few grow, and those that exit are not necessarily less productive. Moreover, firms in the region invest little in physical capital, human capital, or research and development, and they tend to be politically connected. At the macro level, economic growth has been mediocre, labor productivity is not being driven by structural change, and the growth of the stock of capital per capita has declined. New evidence generated for this report shows that the lack of dynamism is due to the prevalence of state-owned enterprises (SOEs). They operate in sectors where there is little economic rationale for public activity and they enjoy favorable treatment--flouting the principles of competitive neutrality. Meanwhile, labor regulations add to market rigidity, while gendered laws restrict women's potential. To change this reality, the state must reshape its relationship toward markets, toward workers, and toward women. The region must create a level playing field between SOEs and the private sector, replace labor rigidities with appropriate social protection and labor market programs, and remove barriers to women's economic participation. Governments can also foster new sectors and occupations, gradually propelling market contestability and job creation. All reforms will have to rely on improved data capacity and transparency to create a new social contract between governments and the people of the region.

Echoes of Aspirations – JNU To IAS : Love, Dream & The Mussoorie Odyssey

By: Asif Jalal

A 19-year-old, young man comes to the capital of India from a violence-ravaged district of Bihar, thinking that in Delhi, the rules of the game will be different, climbing up will be easy, opportunities will be, too many, and the journey will be exciting and pleasant. He aimed high and thought there was nothing that he could not achieve. It was just a matter of time before success and medals would be at his feet. As he steps into the capital, he realises that the path is tough. He thinks hard work, studying and courage are enough to take on the world. Constant efforts to improve oneself, and hunger for recognition will change everything in his life. It would get him money, status, fame, and everything that he aspired for. But he has no resources, no precedent, no money in his pocket, average talent, a sick body, and alluring distractions. Difficulties, failures, deprivation and despair weaken the flame of his ambition. However, he stands in the arena and continues with his efforts. He extracts maximum return from every passing moment, enriches himself with the best books, decodes the secrets of success, and finally one day he wins. The character Hameed Akhtar gives an account of this difficult and painful journey in the first person.

Quality Operations Procedures for Pharmaceutical, API, and Biotechnology

By: Syed Imtiaz Haider,Erfan Syed Asif

To stay in compliance with regulations, pharmaceutical, medical, and biotech companies must create qualtiy SOPs that build in the regulatory requirements into actions and describe personal flow, internal flow, flow of information, and processing steps. Quality Operations Procedures for Pharmaceutical, API, and Biotechnology and the accompanying CD-ROM take into account all major international regulations, such as FDA, EU GMP, cGMP, GLP, PDA technical monographs, PDA technical reports, PMA concepts, journals of PDA, GCP, and industry standard ISO 9000, to be in compliance with documentation guidelines. No other resource deals exclusively with the key elements of quality control and quality assurance procedures for pharmaceutical operations and provides hands-on templates to be tailored to achieve global regulatory compliance. The book provides instant answers about what to include in critical quality assurance and quality control SOPs and how to enhance productivity. The CD-ROM contains nineteen quality control and thirty-three quality assurance SOPs designed so that users can input them into their computers and use their Microsoft Word programs to edit and print these documents. The book ensures minimization of the number of documents, helping to reduce the nightmare-like aura that surrounds an FDA audit. The SOPs exclusively refer to the documents specially required for compliance; however, specific formats are not included to ensure that the electronic templates can be easily used by pharmaceutical, bulk pharmaceutical, medical device, and biotechnology industries. The combination of text and CD-ROM presents a ready-to-use resource on the quality systems of aseptic pharmaceutical non-aseptic production and to provide general information and guidelines. They comprise a tool that can be used to develop a set of quality SOPs in order to support the road map established for the on-time successful start-up of the facility operation in compliance with the GMP requirements.
