Reimagining Pakistan - Transforming a Dysfunctional Nuclear Stat torrent

Hussain Haqqani - Reimagining Pakistan - Transforming a Dysfunctional Nuclear State - 2018

Salman Rushdie once described Pakistan as a 'poorly imagined country'. Indeed, Pakistan has meant different things to different people since its birth seventy years ago. Armed with nuclear weapons and dominated by the military and militants, it is variously described around the world as 'dangerous', 'unstable', 'a terrorist incubator' and 'the land of the intolerant'. Much of Pakistan's dysfunction is attributable to an ideology tied to religion and to hostility with the country out of which it was carved out - India. But 95 per cent of Pakistan's 210 million people were born after Partition, as Pakistanis, and cannot easily give up on their home. In his new book, Hussain Haqqani, one of the most important commentators on Pakistan in the world today, calls for a bold re-conceptualisation of the country.
