    • Abstract:
      The article discusses two books: "Insecure Guardians" by Oskar Verkaaik and "Fifty Years of Bangladesh, 1971-2021: Crises of Culture, Development, Governance, and Identity" by Taj Hashmi. "Insecure Guardians" focuses on the militarization of policing in Karachi, Pakistan, and its impact on policing culture and practices. It provides insights into the historical and political roots of policing in Karachi and the perceptions of corruption within the police force. "Fifty Years of Bangladesh" examines the history, politics, society, and culture of Bangladesh from 1971 to 2021. It explores the identity crisis faced by Bangladeshis and the patron-client relationship prevalent in the country's politics. The book challenges existing narratives and sheds new light on the country's history. [Extracted from the article]
