About the Book
After the September 11, 2001 attacks by the Pakistan-Afghanistan trained terrorists on the World Trade Centre (WTC) and Pentagon, Pakistan polity is undergoing a series of convulsions. Immediately, the official honey-mooning with the Taliban-Al Qaida was given up and the US was invited, willy-nilly, to fight terrorism from Pakistani soil. The ISI was overhauled and abruptly its Charter on Afghanistan was officially revised. Similarly, the State was forced to act against the Jehadi organisations whom it had nurtured for more than two decades. Even on the ‘Kashmir issue’, officially Pakistan was forced to tone down its stand by the international community. This book presents how observers view these developments. Some of the questions the volume addresses include: the role of ISI, the future of Jehadi organisations, Indo-Pak relations; and the future of Pakistan as a viable nation-state.
