Under Communist rule, both Tibetans and Kazakhs suffered great losses - in terms of human lives, destruction of cultures, under-development of native languages and attacks on religion and its manifestations, ultimately reducing them to minorities on their homelands. The book analyses the nationalist policies of the two communist regimes - China and the former Soviet Union - mainly focusing on developments since 1980s.

The study reveals that the four modernization processes in China, perestroika and glasnost in Russia gave more freedom to minority populations besides strengthening ethnic separation. The nature, content and consequences of ethnic demonstrations in Tibet (centered in Lhasa) and in Kazakhstan (Alma-Ata, Novy Uzen) are described in detail and compared with each other.

Since independence, politics in Pakistan has been a sum total of conflicts rooted in the frictions within these various ethnic groupings. This book deals with the politics as it has evolved in this ethnic fusion in Pakistan and the growth of political culture surrounded by it.

The towering distinctiveness of the province of Punjab or the Punjabi identity from the beginning has been the majority identity. It has overshadowed other province of Pakistan.

That is why, every other province with its distinct ethnic identity in the country suffers from the functional minority syndrome. This book seeks to find the equation that has grown surrounding the efforts of creating a single national identity by the province of Punjab and the struggle of the other provinces to maintain their respective cultures, traditions, language and political voice within Pakistan.

Apart from making an attempt to search out the uniqueness of the politics of ethnicity within the various provinces of Pakistan and the manner in which it has in turn created a distinct political character of the nation, the book also deals with the role of religion in the politics of the country in the context of legally accepted minorities, the religious minorities in the Islamic state.)
