Book Synopsis
This book attempts to explain Pakistan’s crisis of governance in historical and philosophical terms. It argues that South Asia’s indigenous orientation towards the exercise of power has reasserted itself and produced a regression in the behaviour of the ruling elite. This has meant that in the sixty years of independence from British rule the behaviour of the state apparatus and political class has become more arbitrary, proprietorial and delusional resulting deterioration in the intellectual and moral quality of the state apparatus is a mortal threat to Pakistan.

Trade Review
It is a splendid work based on a tremendous amount of original sources, a contribution of enduring values to the literature on governmental institutions in Pakistan- Anwar Syed Professor Emeritus of political science University of Massachusetts USA
