Dr R.V.Rao

The hate which exists in Pakistan as described by Mr Haqqani ...

Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2018

Verified Purchase

Gives insight into Pakistan'a troubled existence including its insecurities which prevent it from becoming modern nation. Mr Haqqani occupied many positions in Pakistan which gives him unique perspective.Unfortunately his prescription for Pakistan will be ignored by the elite especially the military. The hate which exists in Pakistan as described by Mr Haqqani is unfortunately crossing the border into India fueling the rise of Hindutva. Mixing religion with governance is toxic to a nation state. I am perplexed as to why Pakistanis as mentioned in the book feel that India poses existential threat to Pakistan. No sensible Indian wants to incorporate 200 more millions into India and multiply existing problems in India.

Absolutely brilliant

Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2018

Verified Purchase

This is the most cogent and well researched book on the miseries of Pakistan and a possible road ahead. The author has done a magnificent job of anchoring his arguments in history and psyche of Pakistan. A must read for anyone interested in Pakistan. I am afraid the damage that Islamization has done to Pakistan may only have one end, a failed and splintered state. But, Haqqani points to a possible path. Maybe Pakistani military and elite will listen to this lone but strong voice of reason. Bravo Mr. Haqqani.

Cogent, Erudite and Deeply Depressing!

Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2018

Verified Purchase

Haqqani is not new to this subject and neither is the subject itself new. However, it still makes for a fabulous read as he clinically points out the vicious cycle of ideological & politico-military disasters engulfing pakistan since the 1940s.

The 'resilient international migraine' is here to stay.. and for a reader it is hard to share his future looking 'optimism'...

cut-and-paste style

Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2018

Verified Purchase

I am happy to learn all this new (to me) stuff about Pakistan, but I struggle to keep going once I start to read the book after putting it down for a while. The text is mainly a patchwork of quotations from the author's sources, giving it a cut-and-paste effect typical of undergraduates just learning to write up their research. Given the author's credentials, I would much prefer more of his analysis rather than endless quotations.

Al-Maghrib

A dishonest discourse from a dispossessed diplomat

Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2020

A dishonest, ill-informed and unresearched propaganda tome masquerading as a book.
Author has done an extreme injustice to his readers by pouring his skewed views and incorrect interpretation of events and affairs regarding the nation of Pakistan into this book. Readers are advised to read Anatol Lieven’s book on Pakistan (Pakistan: A Hard Country) which is well balanced and way better researched than this pack of lies.

Author is well known inside Pakistan and among Pakistani expatriates. He belongs to the ignominious cadre of disgraced and dispossessed bureaucracy of Pakistan. People who like to shine their luck at the expense of their homeland. These are the true legionaries of Mir Jaafar and Mir Saadiq.

Scholarly and penetrating

Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2018

Very insightful discussion of the malignant internal forces that make Pakistan into a land of hatred and fear. Goes deep into history all the ways to the 1940's to show how the current configurations are results of trends established by the first generation of leaders, including Jinnah, Liaqat etc. Unfortunately its message will not be heeded where it matters most.

I didn't buy the book since I refuse to waste money on propaganda pieces but I did waste my time reading parts of it. Please do not waste either money or time on it.

An excellent book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 11, 2018

Verified Purchase

This is an ideal book to open eyes of Pakistanis who have been fed biased and glorified history of Pakistan emphasising the importance of Army and Islamic ideology for the survival of Pakistan. In reality both have caused insurmountable amount of pain and economic disaster for the country.

A balanced and unbiased analysis of Pakistan’s history!

Reflections

Reviewed in India on November 6, 2018

Verified Purchase

This book could have had an alternative title, Reflections on Nation Building and it could have still been apt to describe the political course Pakistan has walked since it's independence.

The author provides glimpses of what Pakistan could have been rather than what it is. Different pillars of state building have been discussed and the possibilities of forging a new Pakistan avoiding past mistakes have been our forth.

In many ways, there is nothing new in this book which many international authors have discussed time and again. Yet it is interesting to get updated both on civilian and military enterprises trying to supercede each other in controlling the lives of ordinary people through dubious means of statecraft.

Contents dont Justify the Title

Reviewed in India on April 29, 2018

Verified Purchase

contents and the title don't match, majority of the book the author gloats about the way partition happened and how the democracy didnt go well , also the author is only talking about punjab and the baloch area of packistan rather than pakistan as a whole, the apt title should be "pakistan after partition" to put simply

Rebooting Pakistan : way forward

Reviewed in India on June 24, 2018

Verified Purchase

An excellent analysis of failure of Pakistan as a state. Why it need to change its course to come out of its crisis. But in my opinion it also has lessons for current dispensation in India. Probably we Indians at also gradually slipping towards the same religion based politics of hatred
