What Drives Extremism in Pakistan

In this book, using rigorous analysis of survey data, indepth interviews in schools and universities in Pakistan, and historical narrative reporting, Madiha Afzal presents a multidimensional picture of Pakistans relationship with extremism. Afzal explains how the two pillars that define the Pakistani state Islam and a paranoia about India have led to a regressive form of Islamization in Pakistans narratives, laws, and curricula. These, in turn, have shaped its citizens attitudes.
