Sir
Who else can write a good and authentic book other than the person who presided the Indian High Commission at Islamabad?
Mr T C A Raghavan is all eligible to write on the subject. Earlier a good book was by Mr J N Dixit former High Commissioner at Islamabad and I have reviewed the same.
It was the conspiracy of the Britishers that they did everything to ditch India.The last three Viceroys did their best to harm Indian interests. Lord Linlithgo created Jinnah Lord Wavel also did the same thing.Likewise Lord Mountbatten mislead Indian Government on North West Province and on Kashmir.While Dividing in East they allotted CHT(Chittagong hill tract) to Pakistan and didn't give way via sea to Mizoram and northern provinces.
The democracy in Pakistan never succeeded and Army controlled the country from the very beginning and till date they are ruling.This is the reason for bad relationship between India and Pakistan.India fought two wars but everytime the political leadership miserably failed. In 1965 Lal Bahadur Sastri failed and in 1971 Mrs Indira Gandhi failed. They could not deal the Pakistani leadership.
I have noticed one mistake at page 60 in the book."In 1940 he was deputy commissioner in Mathura" it is wrong Mr Rajeswar Dayal was District Magistrate not deputy commissioner.I hope in the next edition the mistake would be corrected.The India Pakistan relationship was best when Mr Rajeswar Dayal was the Indian High Commissioner.It was he who solved the matter of Rivers between both countries.If Nehru would have allowed him for some more time he would have solved the Kasmir problem.It was Krishna Mennon who contributed in deterioration of the relationship.Mr Ayub Khan was a very reasonable person and his foreign minister Manjur Quadir was also very reasonable person.
India has produced in Sardar Swarn Singh a great foreign minister, both times he was not given free hand to deal with Pakistan by the Prime Ministers.
Now there are remote chance of better relationship between India and Pakistan.Their main policy is to harm India and until Dimocracy is restored in Pakistan the relationship cannot be better.
The book is very good.The price is reasonable.English language has very good flow in the book and there is no mistake of grammar.I have relished the book and very strongly recommend to the students of International relations and also to general readers.

I've been always inclined towards Indo-Pak Relations and my search is always something regarding that. THE PEOPLE NEXT DOOR is one such book. The language used in this book is quite understandable. And anyone having bit interest in India-Pakistan ties will surely find it interesting. The quality of the book is fantastic and by far it's the most splendid book in my entire collection.... #happyReading :)
