India Vs Pakistan by Husain Haqqani

Book summary

Why do Partition, Kashmir, terrorism and the threat of nuclear attack continue to bedevil India-Pakistan relations, jeopardizing all attempts at peace? Husain Haqqani examines these issues, and argues that they reflect a deep-seated psychosis in Pakistan whose idea of nationalism, fuelled by a large and powerful army, now consists largely of fear, suspicion and hatred of India. Honest, insightful and full of new revelations, this riveting book is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand India-Pakistan relations.
