Salman Rashid says Afghanistan, the graveyard of the empires, is a myth | Ali Abbass Talks

Salman Rashid is Pakistan's most prominent travel writer. He has written 14 Books . His debut memoir is titled A Time of Madness. The partition of India in 1947 into two separate nations, Pakistan and India, was considered a maneuver by the colonial British to use divide-and-rule tactics. A Time of Madness is his first memoir. The Partition of India in 1947 into two independent states like Pakistan and India was seen as a move of divide-and-rule politics adopted by the Colonial British. The outcome resulted in bloody mayhem. People lost their identity in their attempt to settle down in a new country and their home country. They became displaced and disfigured in the mass exodus that followed. Millions of innocent people were inhumanly victimized. The chaos and unruly life danced on them. It is against this backdrop that this memoir showcases the author’s personal odyssey. His first–hand experiences are a glaring reality to the readers. In this research paper, it is, as usual, the theme of Partition that recurs frequently as with those of other works dealt with in the past.
