OUP launches book on East Pakistan debacleOUP launches book on East Pakistan debacleThe Oxford University Press (OUP) launched an important book titled ‘Blood over Different Shades of Green – East Pakistan 1971: History Revisited’.

The publication has been authored by Ikram Sehgal and Bettina Robotka. The event hosted in Karachi was well attended by the media, authors, academics, and foreign dignitaries.

The book examines the events of 1971 that led to the dismemberment of Pakistan. The authors describe these events as very significant milestones in Pakistan’s history. The book based on published and unpublished memories of the activists of 1971 attempts to give a critical assessment of the catastrophic developments leading to the separation of East Pakistan and spell out lessons that have to be learnt from it.

In his welcome address, Arshad Saeed Husain, Managing Director, OUP Pakistan, said, “The authors provide a balanced account of the events, based on the personal experiences of Mr Sehgal, providing the reader with an alternative to more partisan narrations and analyses.”
