Additional Details

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.

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.
