5.0 out of 5 stars INDIA: THE SIEGE WITHIN, April 25, 2000

By

This review is from: Riot After Riot (Paperback)

This is literally one of the best books I have ever read. Without any sensationalism or any hidden injecting of opinion, MJ Akbar takes a person from scratch on the tensions in Tamil Nadu, Kashmir, and Punjab, and goes right to the essential facts and background and emotions and motives behind these crises. He is a wonderful story-teller, but does not become so enamored as to just be for the sake of it. Every word is important. He includes his analysis and his take on it, but is always explicit and frank about it. A most highly objective and intelligent presentation of the crises.

A great Writer of all times, Mr. Akbar is an intelligent, witty and a very genius Personality, His focus on the crisis fronts of India, esp. Punjab and Kashmir portrays the real background and emotions behind the crisis. He challenges the Nation's Unity and concerned thoughful analyzing of Mr. Akbar shows a human Brain who is a true Indian. India, The seige within 'Challenge to a Nation's Unity' and 'Nehru the Making of India' are two books which are worth a Buy and Read. Mr. Akbar portrays a cool, calm, tactful approach and his 'Bylines' are a strong concerned relection in Journalism Field too.
