Professor Khalid B. Saveed. in a radical departure from his earlier works, reinterprets the phenomenon of Pakistan in the light of the colonial experience
The British, he feels, decisively shaped the dynamic of political forces as well as the socioeconomic configuration at the time of the establishment of Pakistan and during its early years
The Ayub regime is seen as an attempt to bolster the neo- colonial dimension. Bhutto's government is seen as Bonapartist In conclusion, he examines the contemporary socio-economia situation in Pakistan and the imperatives of the external vari- ables, suggesting that "certain fundamental changes are afoot."
