Akbar traces the search for a â#128;#156;Muslim spaceâ#128;#157; that began in the eighteenth century, and the events, people, circumstances, and mind-set that culminated in a fractured India in 1947. But why is Pakistan in danger of becoming a â#128;#156;jelly state,â#128;#157; a country that constantly quivers on the edge of instability? Akbar investigates contradictions in the nationâ#128;#153;s modern leadership, from Jinnahâ#128;#153;s secular ideals to the theocratsâ#128;#153; clear stance on creating a â#128;#156;sanctuary of Islam.â#128;#157; He also offers an intimate appraisal of the young nationâ#128;#153;s futureâ#128;#148;including the global implications of nuclear armament and the harboring of terrorists like Osama bin Laden. Tinderbox, a riveting and expansive biography of a nation, fills a crucial void in our understandingâ#128;#148;even as the regionâ#128;#153;s conflicts grow to affect the entire world.
