Althoughthe payment systems works fine for Apps and In-App purchases and Apple Arcade is also available but ONLY public domain books (mostly software documentations) are accessible. This refrains the people in Pakistan to buy and read a vast variety of books available.

Fatima Bhutto, the niece of the former prime minister of the country (Benazir Bhutto), chooses her best books on the politics of Pakistan, while Hassan Abbas, an academic and a former government official in Pakistan, looks at reform in the country. Author Daniyal Mueenuddin and former CIA officer Bruce Riedel both choose their best books on the country itself.

The introduction of drones "makes possible perpetual war without costs", warns the anthropology professor and security expert Hugh Gusterson. Here he selects the best books that examine their ethical, psychological and political impact upon 21st century warfare.


Something about my impassioned plea moves him, apparently, because he agrees for me to come back the next day and talk to him some more. So, I go back the next day, and the one after that, and the one after that, until Zafar sahib relents and agrees for me to sort out his whole shop and show him that it can work as a bookshop.


Everybody in the shop bursts out laughing. In the coming days, I make friends with that shopkeeper and other shopkeepers, as well as street vendors and a traffic cop or two. Every day, at least two people come in to have lunch with Zafar sahib. And everybody eats out of a communal plate, so that if there are four hands dipping into the plate, the fifth is mine.


In 1947, after 200 years of control, the British finally quit the Indian subcontinent. Before leaving, the colonizers drew a line in the sand that formed two new dominions: Muslim-majority Pakistan and Hindu-majority India. Some 15 million people migrated (the largest human migration in history) and one to two million perished in the communal violence that followed.


Thankfully, there were also books. Partition literature encompasses a wide variety of fiction and nonfiction published in multiple countries and multiple languages. They capture some of the most harrowing events of the era, but also the courage, sacrifice, and generosity of the human spirit.


This engrossing debut novel begins in 1950, three years after the formation of what was then East Pakistan (now Bangladesh). Amala Manna and her younger brother Kartik owe their lives to a local Muslim family who hid them when rioters were roaming their village. They escape only to be separated at a train station in Calcutta. Amala must build a new life in a refugee camp in the new India with strangers who share similar, unimaginable losses.


Hajari asks an essential question of how two nations with so much in common become enemies so quickly. He answers it by piecing together personal correspondence, including notes, letters, and diaries of political and military leaders, as well as reports of spies, economic data, and governmental gossip.


Originally entitled Ice Candy Man, Cracking India is told through the eyes of eight-year-old Lenny, a polio survivor, who lives in Lahore with her Parsi family when her nursemaid is kidnapped. Sidhwa adroitly unspools how Lenny comes to understand the escalating violence between Hindus, Sikhs, and Muslims, and what people who once lived together peacefully are capable of doing to one another.

Since Pakistan became a member of the IBBY family in 2006, Alif Laila has formed alliances and welcomed membership from individuals and organizations involved in bringing children and books together. IBBY Pakistan does not charge a membership fee at present.


The devastating floods in 2010 left most of Pakistan inundated and thousands of homes and schools destroyed. An IBBY appeal in 2010 enabled IBBY Pakistan to set up Books Build Bridges libraries in a total of 110 schools from the funds generated. Two other organizations supported this venture which meant 85 more libraries going out to children in flood affected areas of Pakistan.


IBBY Pakistan and its partners were able to provide these portable library kits to the 195 schools . The programme was based on bibliotherapy and art therapy basics. The innovative library kits included books for children as well as art and craft materials, story boards and puppets. The books were carefully selected to involve and engage young readers. Play materials and a puppet kit were also included so that children could express themselves through dramatic play.


IBBY Pakistan was part of the team that prepared a core list of library book titles, suggested by experts for early childhood, primary, secondary and high school as well as recommended reference books for children. The list will benefit organizations and schools interested in setting up their own libraries, as well as individuals interested in setting up/donating library books.


With support from the IBBY-Yamada Fund, four selected madrassas were provided with books and library shelves to set up small libraries in their precincts.. Books were selected carefully so that they could promote a better understanding of cultures and different peoples for a more tolerant culture in the madaris. A library schedule was developed allowing children of all classes some regular time for reading as well as borrowing books from the library.


Rickshaw library for children in marginalised communities in Pakistan

In the past the Ali Laila Book Bus Society, IBBY Pakistan, rented rickshaws to use as mobile libraries. In 2019, thanks to a grant from the Chinese Embassy in Pakistan, they have been able to custom-build their own rickshaw library to take books to children in the marginalised communities around Lahore.


Through the Rotary Books for the World program, Rotary members in Pakistan are working with the Hashoo Foundation to actively promote education throughout Pakistan, and to help our country meet the Millennium Development Goals for literacy set by the United Nations.

It received funds from Rotary Foundation grants and donations from Rotary members and private donors.

Good gesture and a real gift to those youngsters because it will inspire them to read voraciously being a colour content material and also being from Rotary Books and an NGO Hashish Foundation they must have packaged educative facts as well as citizenship matter in them.I commend Khalil khan reporting from St Mary Academy in Pakistan service .Might i recall that it will also stimulate them further to read more and this is in itself is a potentially wealthy habit..As someone said years back a child that reads habitually the right kind of books will eventually unlock the key to world s treasury.

Best of good luck i whatever you read henceforth in your life

Shandana Minhas: For some years now my husband Imran and I have been quietly building the life we always imagined for ourselves, in the company of books, in the service of books. Recently we have been struggling to find books we want to read on shelves in Karachi, so we just decided to take the next logical step and publish them.


But there might be something stirring in English-language fiction publishing too, finally. A distributor in Lahore set up a dedicated imprint a couple of years ago. A big distributor in Karachi is quietly testing whether the footfall at book fairs and festivals might translate into actual sales for its own new fiction imprint. Talented young writers have organized themselves into collectives and started publishing online and in print. And one of the older, smaller presses just published a book of English short stories. By the chairman of the senate.
