He mentioned how he too is reading the same book on his ethnic heritage. Seems as though the PM is connecting with his ethnic roots.
“Volume 7 which I am reading is about Pathan tribes like mine who came from Afghanistan and settled in various parts of India.”
Looks like Imran Khan is developing a habit of handing out monthly book suggestion. Previously in November, the PM recommended we read ‘Capitalism’s Achilles Heel‘.
The book offers an interesting and informative account of how white-collar criminals, businessmen, and politicians illegally launder dirty money. The book journals impact of money laundering on individuals, institutions, and countries.
Prior to that, Elif Shak’s ‘Forty Rules of Love‘ made the list in October. The tale of divine love follows Rumi and Shams Tabriz through their spiritual awakening. However, the Turkish tale narrates the story with a fictional character Ella at the heart of the story.
