Pakistan president Pervez Musharraf’s memoirs seem to be little more than an election campaign filled with fabrications, insinuations and self-serving tripe. This view is based on the opinions expressed by ‘experts’ on both sides of the border.

Also in the book is Musharraf’s apparent disillusionment with Indian PM Dr. Manmohan Singh’s leadership and imagination. And he has some advice for the good doctor…

He has this advice for Singh: “I feel if a leader is to break away from hackneyed ideas and frozen positions, he has to be bold. He has to dominate the establishment, rather than letting it dictate to him”.

Isn’t that precious!? Perhaps someone should remind Mush that we have something called democracy in India. And it functions slightly differently from the dictatorship he is used to, in Pakistan.

And in any case, Musharraf’s four-point “out-of-the-box” solution is anything but “out-of-the-box” or imaginative! It’s just a rehashed proposal that Pakistan has been trying to push for ages, and one that has been consistently found unacceptable by India since it involves partitioning J&K along religious or sectarian lines.
