A recent review: The title is inspired by an excellent cricket book from Ramachandra Guha that comes more recommended than the frequent in-your-face insertions of statements backing up India's secular ideals espoused in cricket and other arenas here by Dr. Tharoor. Coming from an educated, intelligent and well-traveled man like he is, it seems nothing more than a diplomatic gimmick disguised under anti-diplomatic passion that takes more potshots at Pakistan's sectarian ideals than required. The Shaharyar Khan portion fares better with a tempered and more equitable stance, but is hampered by the language a bit. There is some overlap in content between the Tharoor and the Khan portions that distracts the attention somewhat. Not recommended! ( )
