SHORTLISTED FOR THE MAN ASIAN PRIZE 2011 LONGLISTED FOR THE DSC SOUTH ASIAN PRIZE 2013 The boy known as Tor Baz - the black falcon - wanders the tribal landscape of Pakistan, Iran and Afghanistan. He meets men who fight under different flags, and women who risk everything if they break their society's code of honour. Where has he come from, and where will fate take him? 'Striking. One of the finest collections of short stories to come out of south Asia in decades. Rarely has a writer shown greater empathy for its people, or brought such wisdom and knowledge to writing about a terrain largely inaccessible. The power and beauty of these stories are unparalleled in most fiction to come out of south Asia' Guardian 'Astonishing' Independent 'Remarkable. Written in a style that has about it the reverberant clarity of fables, but their intention is realist, uncovering a largely neglected world, and their cumulative effect is deeply moving' Sunday Times 'Its setting alone, in the cruel and punishing highlands, deserts and rocky altitudes where the borders of Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran meet, is worth the price of admission. Here is a book, to my knowledge the first in fiction, that gives an insider's account of the hard-bitten lives of the scores of tribes, collectively known as the Pawindas, or foot-people. The result is mesmerising' The Times 'Brilliantly evokes the harshness of nomadic life. Chilling' Metro Jamil Ahmad was born in Jalandhar in 1933. As a member of the Civil Service of Pakistan, he served mainly in the Frontier Province and in Balochistan. He was Political Agent in Quetta, Chaghi, Khyber and Malakand and later, commissioner in Dera Ismail Khan and Swat. He was posted as minister in Pakistan's embassy in Kabul at a critical time, before and during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979, and his last assignment in the government was Chief Secretary Balochistan. He lives in Islamabad with his wife, Helga Ahmad. DOWNLOAD http://goo.gl/Rsv0D http://bit.ly/1m5n3kB Seven Cantonments , Stephen Einar Gilbert Ponder, 1938, India, 252 pages.

  • The Wandering Falcon Author: Jamil Ahmad Pages: 180 Publisher: Hamish Hamilton Year of Publication: 2011
    Book Review By: Kalsoom Qaisar 1 Book: The Wandering Falcon Author: Jamil Ahmad Pages: 180 Publisher: Hamish Hamilton Year of Publication: 2011 Jamil Ahmad served for a long time as a bureaucrat in the Frontier province and in Baluchistan. He was posted as minister in Pakistan’s embassy in Kabul at a critical time, before and during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979. His last assignment in the Government was to work as Chief Secretary, Baluchistan. The Wandering Falcon, Jamil Ahmad’s debut novel, published in 2011 is a product based on his personal experiences about the Nomadic life of the tribes inhabiting Baluchistan, Waziristan and Swat valley. It is, undoubtedly, a rich cultural and historical document. In The Wandering Falcon, Ahmad highlights the diehard old customs, codes, traditions of the Balochi people and their love and romance with nomadic life. 1. An Overview of the Story The Wandering Falcon is a jagged piece of writing, a slackly woven collection of nine stories depicting the interior view of the Baloch life. The central among these stories is a saga of romance: Gul Bibi’s eccentric crush on a man of humble race and her elopement with him desiring to settle in the haven of love. Gul Bibi’s abscondment is sinful according to the tribal customs, putting her existence at stake. Both Gul Bibi and her lover remain under search and hunt of their people and are murdered, leaving a son Tor Baz behind. There are other stories out of which the “Kafir” Mullah Berari’s tale, his wanderings, his baffling and enigmatic character is relatively more engaging.

  • Orienting Muslims: Mapping Global Spheres of Affiliation and Affinity in Contemporary South Asian Fiction
    ORIENTING MUSLIMS: MAPPING GLOBAL SPHERES OF AFFILIATION AND AFFINITY IN CONTEMPORARY SOUTH ASIAN FICTION M. A. CLEMENTS Ph.D. 2013 ORIENTING MUSLIMS: MAPPING GLOBAL SPHERES OF AFFILIATION AND AFFINITY IN CONTEMPORARY SOUTH ASIAN FICTION MADELINE AMELIA CLEMENTS A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of East London for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2013 i Abstract This thesis asks how four South Asian Muslim novelists have responded to the challenge of writing about Islamic faith ties in the aftermath of the 11 September 2001 attacks on New York’s World Trade Centre and the ensuing “war on terror”. This is a period when Muslim writers and commentators have come under increasing pressure to “explain” Islamic affiliations and affinities, and – as Pnina Werbner (2002: 1) has put it – to ‘disclose where ... the centres of their subjective universe lie’. Focussing on the international novels of Nadeem Aslam, Mohsin Hamid, Salman Rushdie, and Kamila Shamsie, this thesis explores the hypothesis that they can be read as part of a post-9/11 attempt to revise modern “knowledge” of the Islamic world, using globally-disseminated literature to reframe Muslims’ potential to connect with others, whether Muslims who subscribe to other versions of Islam, or non-Muslims. It considers how the “world literature” these authors create and shape maps spheres of Islamic affiliation and affinity, questioning where their subjects turn in seeking a sense of connection or identification, and why. It provides a detailed examination of the inter-cultural and intra-cultural affiliations and affinities the characters pursue in these texts, asking what aesthetic, historical, political and spiritual identifications or commitments could influence such connective attempts.

  • 14 Syed Hanif Rasool Department of English, Khushal Khan Khattak
    UNIVERSITY OF CHITRAL JOURNAL OF LINGUISTICS AND LITERATURE VOL. 1 | ISSUE I | JULY – DEC | 2017 ISSN (E): 2663-1512, ISSN (P): 2617-3611 PASHTUN IMAGES IN CONTEMPORARY PAKISTANI FICTION IN ENGLISH Syed Hanif Rasool Department of English, Khushal Khan Khattak University, Karak, Pakistan Jehangir Khan Department of English, OPF Boys College, Islamabad, Pakistan Abstract Living in an area that has long been a battlefield where various world powers have often been at loggerheads, Pashtuns have frequently drawn the attention of several works of fiction. Yet literary scholars have largely ignored the importance of these works of fiction looking into the lives of Pashtuns. This paper proposes that from the times of the Cold War to those of the War on Terror, Pashtun identities have been clouded by the hegemonic discourses of the contesting global powers, leading to gaps and silences in their depiction in literature.This paper argues that the Pashtun images in contemporary Pakistani fiction in English exhibit strong influences of the dominating narratives; simultaneously, however, they seem to offer various patterns of subversion of the prevailing power narratives. Despite the fact that Pashtuns are generally regarded as the most subversive people of South Asia and that their lands have been regarded significant strategically as well as geographically, yet they are portrayed as the Others of the mainstream cultural discourses. This paper aims to highlight the contours of the socio-cultural and political valuation of Pashtuns in contemporary Pakistani fiction in English. Keywords: Pashtun Images, prevailing discourses, power narratives, contemporary Pakistani fiction in English, subversive. (I) From the Great Game between the British colonizers and Tsarist Russians, and from the Cold War between the Capitalist Americans and Stalinist Soviets down to the War on Terror between the West and various Afghan militant groups, the areas dominated by Pashtuns have often been used as battlegrounds where various powers and ideologies have competed for dominance.
