Ali Gilani's review
This book is about Naipaul's travels to Muslim countries which are not Arab. The prose is smooth and it flows like a tranquil torrent.
Naipaul's main theme is, and it is repeatedly quoted, almost to an annoying degree, how Muslims of these countries wanted to reject the encircling Western civilization while enjoying its fruits. However, they had little of their own civilization, in fact nothing but a dream to relive and enact 7th century Arabia. And the struggle for it.
I particularly read the part of the book about Pakistan with interest because this is where I live. If you expect to find the book's Pakistan you'd be astonished to discover that the country has changed a lot. The book focused mainly on Karachi which was a peaceful metropolitan then, now it's one of the most unstable and violent areas of Pakistan with ethnic, sectarian and religious strife.
Then, Naipaul talked about the interior Sindh which is now almost as undeveloped as it was then, he actually recounted the whole Chachnama with his own interpretation of that histroy. Then, he skipped the main hinterland, Punjab which he described as marshy, waterlogged and covered with salt. And he only came back from the North to Punjab to find something about Raiwand and Ahmadis in Rabwah, amid salt hills of Punjab. Now-a-days, Punjab is the most developed part of Pakistan with the most agricultural produce. When he skipped Punjab, he quickly reached the foothills of Himalayas, the twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad. They were two little towns then, now they have sprawled into each other and just last month connected by a high speed metro bus.
Like the urban geography, attitudes have also changed. People are less prone to bring in Islamic law in the country. Many of the Islamic laws that were promulgated during the period of Zia-when Naipaul visited the country- have been repealed and more are about to go( can't rule out the possibility of a reversal though).
There is a second democratic government in office and a strong democratic tradition is developing. Global and local events have also affected the way people's attitudes have changed. Extremists who want to impose strict Islamic law are at war with the Pakistan Army and have targeted civilians and state apparatus numerous times with terrorist attacks. ISIS which has implemented strict 7th century law in Iraq and Syria is much derided. There are people still, who want to see 'Islam in action' as a character in the book put it, however, more and more people are becoming keen on the separation of the faith and the state.
My point is that the book has become part of the history now. It is not contemporary, but still it gives us a peak into that era and what captured the minds of people of this region and faith at that point in history.
