Pakistan is a living testament to the bankrupt idea of an Islamic State.

Chasing a Mirage (2008)

"India is the only major civilizational country where you are systematically taught to hate your heritage and glorify the invaders who came to destroy it. And this absurdity is called 'secularism'."

who built Babri Mosque
over Ram's Temple;
It was those wicked Hindus
who built the Ram Temple
under the Babri Mosque.

I am an Indian born in Pakistan, a Punjabi born in Islam; an immigrant in Canada with a Muslim consciousness, grounded in a Marxist youth. I am one of Salman Rushdie's many Midnight's Children: we were snatched from the cradle of a great civilization and made permanent refugees, sent in search of an oasis that turned out to be a mirage.
