Jallad by Tasneem Khalil
A deep, cutting edge analysis of the politics and state mechanisms that perpetuate human rights abuses in South Asia.
'An important message to states to ensure accountability and respect human rights' -- Meenakshi Ganguly, South Asia Director, Human Rights Watch
'A powerful and frightening document that traces how political independence mutated into a celebration of the growing power of the military' -- Jeremy Seabrook, writer and researcher; author of 'The Refuge and the Fortress: Britain and the Flight from Tyranny'
'Not only demands a deeper study of state terror in both South Asia and the world at large, but it also demands justice for all the victims thereof—past, present, and, unfortunately, future' -- Marx & Philosophy Review of Books
