Few Pakistani authors seem to have as thorough an understanding of the history of the Indian subcontinent and its impact as Tariq Ali does. His impartial tone rises above most propaganda that normally emerges out of the region. The book analyses the problems faced by Pakistan and its fragile democracy and thus provides any reader with a clear view of what ails this troubled nation.
