Description
An unscrupulous intelligence agency like the ISI which has been waging a proxy war against India for past two decades... A State like Pakistan which is in search of an identity... A militia like Taliban which is created by these two to make Afghanistan the "fifth Province" of Pakistan... And a fanatic, firebrand Muslim like Osama bin Laden who is convinced that "one day in Afghanistan (is) like a thousand days of praying in an ordinary mosque".
Kargil was inevitable in the wake of all this. It happened. More Kargils are inevitable, worldwide. Dagestan, Tatarstan, Bashkiria, Ingueshetia, North Ossetia (in Russia), Xinkiang (China), Kyrgyzhstan, Tajikistan, Ujbekistan, Turkmenistan... the list is long. One man is trying to make it all happen bin Laden. One powerful secret agency is hand-in-glove with him in all this - the ISI.
"Pak Proxy War: A Story of ISI, bin Laden and Kargil" focuses on the Saudi civil engineer-turned-terrorist, bin Laden, the Taliban and the ISI and how a combination of all these factors led to Pakistan Army's intrusion in Kargil. The book calls for taking a "pro-active" rather than a "reactive" approach to Pakistan's proxy war and says that Pakistan's threat of "more Kargils" be paid back in the same coin: "more Bangladeshs".
