Pathan Unarmed

Opposition and Memory in the Khudai Khidmatgar Movement

Edición de la obra The Pathan unarmed

"This book is the first account of rank and file members of the Khudai Khidmatgar, describing why they joined, what they did, and how they perceived the ethics and aims of the movement. It attempts to answer the question of how notoriously violent Pukhtuns were converted to an ethic of non-violence. It finds the answer rooted in the transformation of older social structures, Islamic revisionism and a local redefinition of the traditional code of honour."--BOOK JACKET.
