SynopsisPakistan has meant different things to different people since its birth seven
decades 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 book, Husain Haqqani, one of the most important commentators on
Pakistan in the world today, calls for a bold re-conceptualization of the country.
Reimagining Pakistan offers a candid discussion of Pakistan's origins and its
current failings, with suggestions for reconsidering its ideology, and identifies a
national purpose greater than the rivalry with India. With the additional
'Afterword' he has brought the narrative up to date.
