520			_aThis is the first-ever study, in English, of the Jama 'at-i-Islami and its activities, before and after the partition of Hindustan, in the background of Pakistan's social, economic, political and religious problems. A book on a subject of great political and historical significance, the study also evaluates and analyses the organisational structure of the party, and its elaboration of a seemingly consistent and logical ideology of Islam. Apart from tracing the history of this semi-religious, semi-political militant organisation from its inception to its present almost non-entity status, the learned author also evaluates and critically examines the philosophy of Maulana Mawdudi, the founder of the Jama 'at-i-Islami. The value of the study is enhanced considerably because it reveals some astonishing facts that have never been revealed before. It is analytical, critical and profound and would be found useful by historians, political scientists and students of international affairs but also by the common readers.
