We’re Going to be Okay

Amn Karim Ahmad

Featuring adorably sweet illustrations by Namerah A. Khan, this simple book tackles a serious problem affecting new mothers: postpartum depression. New mums are often in desperate need of care and support. Physical care may be available, but mental health is often overlooked. In kind, encouraging verses, the author lets new mums know that it’s okay to feel scared and overwhelmed, that it’s perfectly fine to take time to adjust and that, in the end, all will be fine.

History of Sindh Police: 1843-2022

Tariq Ashraf Mughal

Beginning with the history of police in general and overviews of law enforcement structures in other countries, the book looks at the evolution of policing in the Subcontinent. Summaries of police personnel in the Mughal era are followed by profiles of British military/ aristocracy who headed the Subcontinent’s police forces during the British Raj. Included are designations, ranks and pay scales, evolution of the uniform, and the weaponry and vehicles assigned to officers.
