“Yeh jo hai Pakistan” a book written by sports journalist Shivendra Kumar Singh was released by noted writer Asgar Wajahat at a simple but impressive function here last evening.
This book published by Bhartiya Jnanpith is a collection of memoirs of Pakistan.
Speaking on the occasion, Wajahat said that it would have been an ordinary book if the writer has only talked about sports, but its special because he attempts successfully to capture the essence of Pakistan through its most ordinary people.
He said that there are many ways to build the relationship through sports and other people to people contact. “We can also read how the common men of Pakistan think about India so looking at it.”
He also said that everyone is trying to find new ways to develop the relations. Sports don’t see any caste, region, country. Sports see how much sportsmanship do you have So we can bring unity through sports. It brings healthy relation so these are things which are mentioned in the book.
Former cricketer Chetan Chauhan who also was present, shared his experiences of Pakistan and said: “during our days we had very limited access to the places and players were confined to their hotel room but now the time has changed. Young generation of both the countries have different opinion irrespective of the current political scenario.”
