Adeel Hussain's book uncovers the hidden stories behind Pakistan's legal fixation with blasphemy - tales of revenge, political scheming and sovereign betrayal. It opens in nineteenth-century colonial Punjab and traces blasphemy killings and their legal afterlives to the present, linking their emergence to polemic encounters between Hindu and Muslim revivalist sects, namely the Arya Samaj and the Ahmadiyya.
