India, Pakistan, and the North-West Frontier
A varied collection of ephemera and other works relating to India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, both during and after the Raj. It includes linguistic, cultural, and historical detail, and is both academic and popular in nature. The items cover from the 19th into the 21st centuries, with plates and illustrations from 19th-century sources such as The Graphic and The Illustrated London News along with modern photocopies and news cuttings. There are also maps (such as two Government of Pakistan surveys c.1960s) and academic pamphlets from the Royal Asiatic Society. The works cover a wide spread of issues including religious tensions, with three 1948 Lahore publications studying the violent conflict between the AKAL FAUJ and RSSS in the Punjab and Kashmir. Along with this are various books (some published in the area) including a Baedeker guide (1914); a Report of the Indian Statutory Commission (1930); Kanu Desai's study of Mahatma Gandhi (1932) and Parkash Singh's Temple of Bread (signed by the author, 1964).
