The World After Gaza by Pankaj Mishra

Its a short history which leaves with a bigger thought.

How far the war can go to establish the irony of one sided balance. The world we know today is still recovering from the long time colonisation but still comes face to face with the same force which is wearing a different mask. We always hear war and peace as opposites but they are really not opposites. They are two independent phenomenon, the absence of one doesn't mean the presence of the other. War never leads to peace and vice versa.

The wars will always be there but the reasons and the after effects need to be recorded. These records will not change anything and are less likely teaching anyone worth teaching. But it is a memoir of what led to what. The people who are going to wage a war are not likely to read any of these records ever but that doesn't lower down the needs for these.

Peace
