A caution about letting religion trump politics (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Every now and then one comes across a book that makes you stop, think, and question. That’s not as unusual as you may suppose. But I didn’t think it would happen in the case of the book I am writing about today. I have known its author, Tavleen Singh, as an engaging columnist and the writer of revealing political books. Some, like Durbar, were gripping. But I would never have thought her first novel, The Actor, could be arresting. The truth is, it is. The book is a roman a clef. As the preface i
How the Caliphate almost passed to family of India's Nizam of Hyderabad (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sometimes, more interesting than actual history is what you could call “what if” history. It’s often referred to as counterfactual story-telling.

Did the founding fathers of the US insist on a new way of speak

Read excerpt
We’ve reached a point where questions about the Gulf War seem more significant than the answers we have. It’s even arguable that neither side knows what they might be. They’re reacting to each other. So, let’s see what those issues tell us. Is the war about to restart? Donald Trump has tweeted that “in no uncertain terms” the ceasefire is over. He’s reimposed the US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and revoked sanction waivers on Iranian oil. Iran has been subjected to daily strikes. Next week,
