PRELUDE TO PAKISTAN 1930-1940
Description
This is a companion volume to Prof. Aziz's 'A History of the Idea of Pakistan' and it reprints the documents he used for researching a part of the period he covered in his massive and penetrating earlier study. Apart from the historical value inherent in the 252 documents reproduced here, three further considerations have impelled him to compile this collection.
Firstly, since every historian has the autonomy to interpret a document and every dishonest writer the freedom to distort or misconstrue it, the author feels obliged to put before his readers the material he used in writing his study to enable them to judge the authenticity of his sources.
Secondly, if read consecutively and intelligently, this collection gives the reader an idea of the climate of opinion in which the concept of Pakistan evolved. Finally, the reproduction in full of these documents will put the record straight in cases where some or all historians and scholars have tampered with the original text.
