Points of Entry: Encounters at the Origin Sites of Pakistan

Points of Entry: Encounters at the Origin Sites of Pakistan is a thought-provoking exploration of the historical, political, and cultural sites where the story of Pakistan began. The book examines the symbolic and physical “points of entry” that shaped the creation and identity of the country, from Partition and migration routes to monuments, archives, and contested landscapes.

It blends historical analysis, cultural interpretation, and field encounters, showing how narratives of belonging, identity, and memory are constructed and remembered across generations. The author captures how these origin sites are not only spaces of history but also living terrains of debate and reflection about what Pakistan was meant to be and what it has become.

This book is essential for readers interested in Partition studies, cultural memory, South Asian history, and identity politics. It offers an original perspective on Pakistan’s past, connecting physical spaces to national imagination.
