Description

Dying to Serve: Militarism, Affect, and the Politics of Sacrifice in the Pakistan Army provides a deep look into one of the most influential institutions in South Asia. Maria Rashid explores how the Pakistan Army maintains its power through vast resources and deep colonial roots. This study focuses on the specific regions that supply the military, particularly parts of rural Punjab where military service spans generations. Through a sensitive lens, the book examines the human side of military life, focusing on the soldiers, their wives, and their mothers. It addresses the fundamental question of how a military institution thrives even when its work leads to injury, debility, and death. This work is essential for readers interested in the social and political dynamics of South Asia and the cultural impact of military service on families and local communities.
