This book examines the ‘Gordian Knot’ of the perpetually conflicting ‘Indo-Pak relatioship’ (IPR)-including the origin and growth of the ‘Indo-Pak antagonism’ (IPA) and the resultant ‘trust gap’. Why the inherently faulty dream of Iqbal and Jinnah continues to irrigate the evil roots of the ‘Pakistan’s India fixation’-and how communal and international shadows -falling on the IPR, do not allow some enegizing sunlight to fall upon this genetically weak relationship, is dwelt upon, uncommonly beautifully,inthiswork. This book discards what is apparent and goes to the depths of the IAP-answering why its continuitly is essential for the very existence of Pakistan. Why, without the glue of PIA, the ‘nation of Pure (Pak)’ runs the danger of crumbling like a ball of moist sand, is explained herein.
