Language and Politics in Pakistan

In this book, Tariq Rahman describes the inextricable link between language and politics in Pakistan. Conflict about language, the author argues, is really about political dominance. He examines the history of British language policies, the Urdu-Hindi controversy, and the role in identity formation of the Bengali, Pasato, Balochi, Sindhi, Punjabi, and Siraiki language movements.
