M.J. Akbar
“Muslims of British India had opted for a separate homeland in 1947, destroying the possibility of a secular India in which Hindus and Muslims would coexist, because they believed that they would be physically safe, and their religion secure, in a new nation called Pakistan. Instead, within six decades, Pakistan had become one of the most violent nations on earth, not because Hindus were killing Muslims but because Muslims were killing Muslims.”
M.J. Akbar, Tinderbox: The Past and Future of Pakistan – An Essential History of Muslim-Hindu Cultures and the Taliban Context in South Asia

“A day spent reading is not a great day. But a life spent reading is a wonderful life.”

“Jinnah said, as early as in the first decade of the twentieth century, that separate electorates would lead to the destruction of Indian unity; and so they did.”

“Yes. Go-ghna! Which is apparently an irregular upapada tatpuruṣa. So instead of meaning noxious to kine, it is derived as: for whom a cow is killed.’ Maniraja winced. ‘And guess what that is? A guest! Go-ghna is a synonym for guest. Now go tell the men in saffron that!”
Aatish Taseer, The Way Things Were
