On the Indian side, there are a handful white pigeons who obviously refuse to accept the evil that lurks among ordinary Pakistanis. The book "The Line of Control: Travelling with the Indian and Pakistani Armies" attempts to whitewash Pakistan's atrocities and normalise its terrorist actions.

The Line of Control: Travelling with the Indian and Pakistani Armies (Review)

About The Book

The Line Of Control: Travelling with the Indian and Pakistani Armies is a non-fictional book by Happymon Jacob. The book written by an "esteemed" writer, is a cacophony of bizarre ideas of an academician.      

I will try to explain how this book is one of the worst nightmares for any genuine book reader. Any reader who's not perturbed about the writer's credentials or the review posted on it by two "prominent lawmakers" of India will be dismayed.

Why Is the Book Branded Propaganda?

It seems the writer himself is confused about what made him write this useless book. It could be the lost privilege that such "intellectuals" of India enjoyed in erstwhile regimes. People who considered themselves essential, are now on the sideline, causing pain and anguish, which is perceptible.      

The second reason seems to be the itch to showcase the critical "contacts" such people have developed across the border, which he boasted repeatedly. The third and essential reason is to continue with the "agenda" of a lobby in India that is determined to hurt the Indian interests for multiple reasons.

Why Waste Time On Fallacies?

What amazes me is, the book with 200 pages has only "pakoras and chai" of Pakistan as an achievement till page 93. It is so ridiculously dull that one doesn't mind, the JNU professor subtly telling us to be more receptive to the Pakistanis when they visit India. The only thing the "esteemed" author forgets to understand is, we Indians are tired of this bigoted radical next-door neighbour. The "pakoras and chai" can't obscure the cruel intentions of Pakistanis that professor enjoys.         

The author shamelessly boasts that the Pakis invited him and cleared his visit at the highest level after reading his articles on the Indian government. Abusing India, Hindus, Hindu civilization is an excellent rewarding job and perfected by few in the garb of "FOE".

Summary

Finally, I can convincingly say that this book is complete garbage, a waste of energy and time. It is neither a travelogue nor any thriller to enjoy. In the end a despicable attempt by an idiot to tarnish Indian government through his silly effort.
