Synopsis Jinnah never used the word jehad—his followers did—but he propagated such policies that can well be classified as jehad in the prevailing scenario. His direct action programme of August 1946 personified the jehadi in Jinnah. In many ways Jinnah was the most prominent jehadi in the Indian subcontinent. His concept of two nation politics helped him succeed single-handedly in creating the Muslim state of Pakistan—in the process leaving more Muslims in India than there are n Pakistan. The new state of Pakistan inherited the personality trait of its creator—distrust for Indians—which gradually transformed into hatred for India. The post-Jinnah Pakistan carried forward his legacy. Zulfikar Ali Bhutto vowed a thousand years’ war with India. Zia ul-Haq discretely told Rajiv Gandhi that his country too had the nuclear bomb. Now the self-elected Commando President Pervez Musharraf is playing the cracked record of Kashmir and threatening India with nukes. Musharraf is slowly but steadily contributing to what has been the utmost fear since the creation of Pakistan—the clash of civilizations. Pakistan: From Jinnah to Jehad analyses the contemporary situation and looks at the future strategic scenario. Past, it is said, can foretell the future. In Pakistan, the past has been repeating itself with an amazing regularity. This intensively researched book also turns the spotlight on China and reveals the fact that the Chinese leadership, during its 1962 aggression, had suggested to Pakistan to open another military front and resolve the Kashmir issue once for all, but Ayub Khan had developed cold feet.
