Jihad, Hindutva and the Taliban
by Iftikhar Malik
This book puts the jihadi ideology of the Mujahideen and the Taliban into a longer historical perspective, tracing its roots back to the classical Islamic era and looking at the circumstances in which jihad has been advocated since then, through colonial times, up to the present. The book also looks at the growth of religious politics and nationalism in Afghanistan in the light of comparable movements in other countries in the region, such as India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal.
