Abstract
‘A Leadership Odyssey: Muslim Separatism and the Achievement of
the Separate State of Pakistan’, is the latest book of the prominent
historian Dr. Sikandar Hayat, in his continuing interest in discussing
different contours of history of the Pakistan Movement. He has taken a
leap in historiography by focusing on the actors and not on the act.
This book under review, talks about the separatist movement, through
an appraisal of a decisive moment in the history of the subcontinent.
Sikandar Hayat in this scholarly volume has refreshingly used an
instrumentalist method of creating a symbiosis between political
aspirations and human development: benchlearning. It ensues to learn
effective practices for adopting them while dealing with specific
circumstances. This process is not limited in its approach; it is
integrative by being flexible. The author discusses the idea of
separation ultimately to materialize in a separate state.
