The latest book is about the ideology of the Taliban. I have tried to highlight Islamic history's delusions and near mythical understandings. The right and wrong is constantly analogised with the events of early Islam. I have tried to demonstrate how the Taliban have developed an alternate meaning of the same events from early Islam and how these are used to justify their gruesome deeds like suicide bombings, attack on mosques and cutting of heads.

Liked your review of Silk Road by Peter Frankopan. Also agree with your views on the embargo by US on Iran, but may I ask you, as an Indian, what is your view about CPEC (China Pakistan Economic Corridor)? Is it economically helpful for Pakistan or as we hear and read in our media here that people of Baluchistan are dead against it.
