Mr.Akbar talks about the post colonial world, how the governments control their nations and how religion has a great impact in this multicultural world. He further explains the modern nation view and talks about various aspects which govern it.
M.J.Akbar is the author of seven internationally acclaimed books on the history of South Asia, the volatile interplay of faith and nationalism on the Indian subcontinent, and conflicts between the Muslim world and the Christian realms. They include India: The Siege Within, an analysis of secessionist threats to India which appeared in 1984 and Nehru: The Making of India, a substantive biography of India's first Prime Minister. Born in 1951, Akbar began his career as a journalist in Times of India, in 1971, and moved quickly to become editor of Onlooker and Sunday in his early Twenties, before launching The Telegraph in 1982, widely recognized as India's first modern newspaper. He launched India's first international newspaper, The Asian Age, in 1994. He has served as member of the committee set up by King Abdullah to draft a ten year charter for Muslim nations on behalf of the OIC, in 2005. He was also a senior fellow at The Brookings Institution, Washington.
