- catalog abstract ""The creation of Pakistan in 1947 as a result of the partition of India and its subsequent turbulent history has been in world headlines for fifty years. Of all the five provinces which were to form Pakistan it was the strong and unquestioned support of the province of Sind that gave the backbone and the confidence to the demand for Pakistan." "The main leadership role in galvanizing Sind and putting it behind the Pakistan demand was performed by Mohammed Ayub Khuhro." "Khuhro dominated the politics of Sind for over thirty years from the late 'twenties to the imposition of the first Martial Law regime in Pakistan in 1958. He would continue to play a major role in politics well into the seventies when Pakistan was faced with most difficult and complex problems of struggle between democracy and dictatorship. Khuhro's unwavering and courageous stand on the many issues of politics and his fortitude in the face of adversity earned the popular sobriquet 'The iron man of Sind'." "This account of Khuhro's life and time is for anyone wishing to understand the course of the freedom movement and the reasons for the creation of Pakistan. It also explains the reasons for the tragic political history of Pakistan."--Jacket.".
