Doctrine of Necessity as Made Applicable in Paksitan

“Doctrine of necessity” is a legal term. This is a term used in constitutional law and is as old as history. What does it mean? It means that a government can resort to extra-constitutional authority in case there is a breakdown in law and order. The purpose is to restore order in a situation when anarchy reigns The Romans used this doctrine in the occupied lands. Later in the 13th century, the doctrine was given a legal cover by the jurist Henry de Bracton (1210-68).

The doctrine was further revised by William Blackstone (1773-68) an English Jurist. Both jurists had a common thread that this doctrine was a necessity in case there was a breakdown in law and order. The crucial point is “breakdown in law and order”. There is a related question as to who will decide this. The jurists did not amplify on this matter.

‘Doctrine of Necessity’ has never been used in England. But it has been used in Germany by Hitler and now in Pakistan. Pakistan is one nation that has repeatedly upheld changes in Pakistan’s political environment by military coups under this doctrine. This makes sad reading.

The novel

The author

Writing a novel is a work of inspiration and this novel by me fills that genre. The novel was written many years back but was kept pending I finally decided to publish and Notion Books, Chennai were only too happy to publish it. There is a lot of action, killings, and the most important part is that the book is laced with oriental erotica.

Notion Books an Indian publishing firm has taken pains and printed the book with an excellent get-up and glossy cover.

The book is on sale on-line in both paperback forms, as well as a kindle e-book.

The Plot

Book cover

The novel is set in the period when the British empire was on its last legs and as a parting shot had decided to divide India into two by creating Pakistan. This was a tumultuous period in Indian history and forms the background of the novel.

The hero is a Muslim Pathan tribesman who is benevolent, educated and above all a great warrior. The novel delineates his love affair with the daughter of a British major of the Indian army and subsequent affair with Anglo- Indian girl. In all this mayhem there are excellent erotic passages, as well as action. The hero kills with compunction, but he is just and fair . The novel also relates a feud between him and a Punjabi Muslaman who wants to drive the Hindus out of Punjab.

There is plenty of action and the reader can be spellbound in case he likes tales of love and adventure.
The book is available on all major online sites likeAmazon, Flipkart, News hunt,Kobo, google play etc. I hope some friends will grab a copy.

Last Word

The book

Considering that it is the first book, I feel it's a commendable piece of work. Some passages do appear disjointed now, but hopefully, I will correct them in later novels.

The book runs into 252 pages and does a picture of that turbulent time. The backdrop of a sizzling love adds to the allure of the novel. It's a good tale and readers should like it. It's also a tribute to the language of English which is now part of India, making it the biggest English knowing nation in the world. At a conservative estimate over 350 million Indians are well versed in this language. India has produced a number of top writers like Salman Rushdie and Kushwant Singh and I hope my novel will add to the repertoire of English literature published in India.
