M.J. Akbar
Rs. 595.00
M.J. Akbar writes the first cohesive history of jihad. From the Prophet Muhammad to the presence of British and American troops in Afghanistan, and more recently in Iraq. Akbar shows how jihad's origins lie in the earliest consciousness of Muslims, how it thrives on complex notions of persecution, victory and sacrifice. Jihad pervades the mind and soul of Islam. This book reveals its strength and significance, and this jihad has come to Iraq in a new, Shia dimension.
M J Akbar is a renowned journalist and national spokesperson for the BJP. He has authored many books and is a known political columnist in newspapers and magazines. He is a senior fellow at The Brookings Institution, Washington. His work is internationally acclaimed as well, for being focussed on issues concerning India’s relations with the world and the diversity within its boundaries. India: The Siege Within is followed by the book Blood Brothers: A Family Saga.
