Across The Wagah: An Indian's Sojourn in Pakistan India's obsessive interest in Pakistan is defined by political and security issues and is conditioned by history. This book delves into the lives of the common people of Pakistan, their cities and histories, their complex societies and their search for cultural identity. While doing this, the book makes two points: first, that we must learn to distinguish between people, nation and state, and secondly, territorial boundaries and cultural frontiers are not the same.
