http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/26/books/review/the-longest-august-about-india-and-pakistan-by-dilip-hiro.html wrote:The general, however, saw it differently. With his swagger stick balanced on his knee as he watched the match, he confided that the Taliban were, in fact, being secretly backed by India. Pakistani soldiers had discovered Indian weapons and currency in the rebel lairs of Swat — proof positive that behind what appears to be a religiously motivated enemy lay the hidden hand of Pakistan’s greatest rival.
Such accusations were not uncommon then among Pakistani security officials, even if they were rarely substantiated. But the fact that they could be made with such conviction spoke volumes about the emotional resonance of Pakistan’s decades-old rivalry with India, and how even today it looms, like Banquo’s ghost, over other conflicts across South Asia.

Oh Boy! He wrote an extraordinary book 'white British, black British' on racism in Britain - he categorized seven or eight different shades of color that the people of India and Pakistan could discern and rank, akin to the several shades of white that the Inuits could.
