I have never ever read a book on a subject like this, but this preface and background does urge one to go ahead and look into the book deeply and follow the lines that the writer traversed through. I agree to you, but it definitely is tough not to take sides. There is always a sense of belonging and owning. Although, I agree, the people there are just as simple as we are and its just that the news and readings/hearings we get, are all of negative shade, which help us form our opinion. I wish to be able to travel to Pakistan someday as you did, may be for only 10 days as a tourist. Entirely agree with Sidhusaaheb, it made for an extremely interesting reading.

I'm sure the book does too. BTW, I don't really know how many people there are out there who know that it's not necessary to take sides, but it would be good if more of them acknowledge that openly. It took the Europeans a lot less than the 60 years that have passed by since the second world war to overcome the acrimony that existed among them at that time. I wonder how long it is going to take us to do that, if at all. That makes for fascinating reading. I’m sure the book does too.
