Zero Percentile: Missed IIT Kissed Russia


Neeraj Chhibba was born and raised in India. He studied engineering at Volgograd, Russia, where he spent almost seven and a half years of his life. He is currently employed with a software company in India. His single claim to literary honours is a ‘Highly Commendable’ certificate in Class X in an English Essay Competition organised by the Royal Commonwealth Society and he himself was surprised to be the only one in New Delhi to have received it that year in his category. He could perhaps have done more but the pressure of succeeding professionally and earning bread made him turn away from writing. This is his first book. And if you like it, he promises, there would be a lot more.
Zero Percentile is a heady cocktail of the fascinating adventures of Pankaj, a less favoured son of destiny, across two completely different countries, India and Russia.

The Al Qaeda Connection


Imtiaz Gul has written extensively on Islamist groups in Afghanistan and Pakistan for several Pakistani English-language newspapers and journals. He reported on Pakistan for the German radio/TV network, Deutsche Welle and for the German Press Agency, deutsche presse agentur until September 2006 and for CNN between 1998–2000. Gul appears regularly on Al-Jazeera and on Indian and Pakistani TV channels as an analyst on Afghanistan, Pakistan’s tribal areas and militancy issues. He is the author of The Unholy Nexus: Pak-Afghan Relations under the Taliban (2002), and edited Islam and Liberalism (2002). Imtiaz Gul currently heads the Centre for Research and Security Studies in Islamabad, Pakistan.
The face of Terror has changed dramatically. Today major terrorist attacks are marked by their meticulous preparation and deadly execution—as the Mumbai attacks of 26/11 have clearly established. The most important planning centre for these operations is the tribal region located on the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan. Following the U.S. action in Afghanistan in December 2001 many Al Qaeda and Taliban fighters escaped and settled down in these regions where, historically, the writ of the state has always been weak. Taking advantage of the inhospitable terrain and the porous border, Al Qaeda militants of multiple ethnic origins regrouped.In 2008 alone they launched over fifty suicide missions which have inflicted more than six thousand casualties in attacks across the world. In these remote valleys the fatal mix of ultra-conservatism, economic under-development, religious obscurantism and the absence of law and justice has resulted in a cauldron of militancy which is being fed and fuelled by the shadowy presence of the Al Qaeda and the Taliban. Ever-younger fighters are being recruited for suicide missions while music, shaving and the education of girls are proscribed by increasingly powerful clerics.In this book Imtiaz Gul follows the trail of militancy and the way it has evolved under Al Qaeda’s influence in tribal areas.
