:''Note : This article is about an academic publication. For details on the actual history of Pakistan see History of Pakistan'' A Short History of Pakistan is an edited book published by University of Karachi Press and comprises four volumes. The book is edited by Prof Ishtiaq Hussain Qureshi and provides a comprehensive account of the history of the Pakistan region and its people from the prehistory leading to the creation of Pakistan and East Pakistan which then became Bangladesh. Complete set of four volumes are sequentially titled as, ''Book One: Pre-Muslim Period by Ahmad Hasan Dani''; ''Book Two: Muslim Rule under the Sultans by M. Kabir''; ''Book Three: The Mughul Empire by Sh. A. Rashid''; and, ''Book Four: Alien Rule and the Rise of Muslim Nationalism by M. A. Rahim et al.'' This book is significant as probably the first serious attempt to paint an overall picture of the early history of Pakistan region. Given that the book deals with periods of history prior to the creation of Pakistan, it has been described as, point of fact, a history of the northern part of the entire South Asia with special emphasis on the region that presently is Pakistan. Some of the essays have been criticized by peer reviewers as being insufficiently objective about relations between Indian Muslims, Hindus and the British political classes. == Preamble == At the preface, I H Qureshi addresses the common question as to whether it is possible to disentangle the history of Pakistan from the history of India. He maintains that although for certain periods Pakistan shares common history with modern day India, there are periods of regional history with local significance that were actually dominated by the events outside the South Asia, especially in Central Asia and Iranian plateau. There have also been times when the region actually became arbiter of the South Asia's historical destiny. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「A Short History of Pakistan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
