Book Name Pakistan by Imran Khan

This book is about Imran Khan's struggle, it has 11 chapters. This book is dedicated to Imran Khan's sons Suleiman , Qasim and young generation of Pakistan. In this book, he wrote about his life as a cricketer, how Pakistan cricket team won the world cup in 1992? He mentioned his injury when he was couldn't have bowl? He said that, he came back in international cricket because of General Zia ul Haq 's request and Shouqat Khanum cancer hospital, at that stage, time of my rise was ended and faced a case of ball tempering in London by English cricketer.

He also mentioned about Jamima , how they met, got married and divorced? but this topic was very short .

He also wrote , why he thought about Cancer hospital? how he raised funds? He appreciated and thanked those who supported him and also mentioned that celebrities who donated for hospital.

Main purpose of this book is politics. He mentioned, how and why he established his political party? How his party faced challenges? Also mentioned, when he had no interest in politics at that time some political leaders told him to join government's cabinet and politics but he rejected. He also criticized political and non political leadership like, General Zia, Musharraf, Nawaz Sharif, Benazir and Asif Zardari. He blamed that, Nawaz Sharif, Benazir and Asif Zardari are corrupt ,they demolished Pakistan's economy and shifted Pakistan’s money illegally to out of the country. He blamed Nawaz family, they made fake cases on Jamima and trolled her in media. He also blamed that Zardari ‘s government was pro American.

He also criticized Musharraf 's foreign policies, said Musharraf did everything for American Dollars and damaged national autonomous , dignity and integrity of Pakistan . Musharraf involved Pakistan into war of America , demolished Fata’s peace and lost lives of thousands of people. Author also criticized Pakistan's Army and intelligence agencies. He also wrote about Allah Iqbal. What is Iqbal ‘s ideology and what he wanted .

My Point of view.

In my point of view this book is full of criticism. Author did not mention any positivity of his opposition, he didn't discussed health and education system of Pakistan remember one thing these two departments are first priority, according to his political party. I think it was very good idea to discuss about Iqbal ideology.

If I would like to rate this book I will rate it 7 out of 10 because author write only negativity of his opponents.
