Military Inc.: Inside Pakistan's Military Economy 7 reviews Ayesha Siddiqa
Pluto Press, 2007
Mouth watering
+ Why you should buy Military Inc. + Daring but substantive
I haven't read this book as yet. What are the 5 stars for? They are for taking the initiative where none have. At a point in time where Pakistani civil society has started to assert itself, this book is another small step toward emancipating 160 million people from the military junta.

Last fall in Kerala, a lush tropical area in southeast India, my partner and I sat in a packed house watching Kathakali dancers act out an old story about Shiva and Parvati, a Hindu god and his consort.
