'Noted Political Expert' - Not Quite

Jamaluddin attempts to portray himself as a 'noted political expert' and author. This is a cover and distraction for his financial fraud schemes. The actual books he's written are of substandard quality, and are copy-and-paste jobs from other publications.

We've already shown, further down on this blog, how this 'noted political expert' has never been interviewed by any respectable news organisation, and the 'interviews' (if you can call them that) that do exist of him online are all conducted by the same woman using a home video camera and reading her questions off a sheet of paper below the camera (one of them sounds and looks as if it's been filmed in a toilet/kitchen). The contents of those 'interviews' are also laughable.

But you don't need to take my word for this. Have a look at some of the reviews of his self-published 'book' by those unfortunate enough to have paid for a copy, which is probably more useful as toilet paper than as reading material. The few positive reviews are written in a style that indicate those reviewers haven't actually read the book, but just agree with the title, 'Divide Pakistan'.

"Complete garbage. I'm Indian and even I wouldn't use this book to line my dog's kennel. Much of the author's facts and analysis are way off the mark and wouldnt be taken seriously by any Indian strategists, even the most hawkish elements.

For a good and insightful analysis of Pakistan see Stephen Cohen's Pakistan, Carol Weaver's Pakistan (I forgot the exact title), Bennett Jones's Pakistan: In the eye of the storm, Richard Clarke's Defeating the Jihadists.

Basically everything except this book."

"It doesn't take very long to realize that Mr. Jamaluddin's arguments are highly flawed. He is ill-versed in history , Islam, and even current affairs. Someone with little common sense (forget about literary sense) would not present arguments in such a bizarre way.  I don't understand how such a garbage got published. Don't waste your money and time."

"The tensions between Pakistan's various ethnic groups, and the potential division of the nation, is indeed a subject matter worthy of detailed discussion and discourse. However, this is an extremely disappointing amateurish work. It's poorly written, the arguments are weak and overly simplistic, and it provides no real insight into Pakistan's current state of affairs.

For anyone genuinely interested in the plight of minorities in Pakistan today, try other sources. This is painfully bad to read and a complete waste of time."


Ravi K. Ramsinghani
"ok i am an Indian and i thoroughly enjoyed this book by a exiled Pakistani traitor but still the quality of his writing and the whole interface of the book was pathetic which is quite expected from an illiterate Pakistani."



Raza Ali Agha
"Many authors have touched upon the idea of a division of Pakistan, especially since East Pakistan became Bangladesh in the early 1970s. Much of the debate that exists on this front is dominated by the notion that Pakistan lacks a unified national identity, necessary in the sustainability of a nation state. In present day condition, talk about the division of Pakistan is not only rooted in history of the country, but is also the result of the dominance of certain ethnicities and certain classes over most others. A sustained rise in inequality that this has resulted in is thus another factor.

I bought this book thinking at least some of these issues would be discussed. However, this book is a complete waste of money. Its poorly written, poorly argued, and a mockery has been made of the issue. I would not recommend this to anyone who is a serious student of Pakistan."


Zeeshan-ul-hassan Usmani
"The book is all garbage. Majority of the contents are collection of articles and excerpts from different writers. Author tries to link all these together for his evil intentions. How can USA have 5 pervaiz musharrafs to take care of their business if we divided the pakistan in 5 individual countries.

The chapter of "Tableeghi Jamaat" is a total mess. Author lives in his world of imagination without any clue of reality.

Actually, it seems that the author wanted to cash the idea of "war on terror" like many more.

Overall no Star, waste of time and money."


M. Sheikh
"This book is a wastage of money. Total trash! author has collected a few articles mostly found on propaganda sites to put together a book just to take advantage of the current war on terror situation. People like Syed Jamaludin are either funded by enemy governments or are trying to cash in on people's ignorance. This guy is not only misguiding people but falsifying facts. This book is not recommended to anyone as it does more harm than good. The only person who gains from this book is the author himself, who is written it to make some money. This is terrorism in the name of education."


P. Akhtar
"WOW!! I HAVE NEVER read anything more inaccurate. TOTAL grabage. "



Jawad Usman
"What a waste of paper is this book. What a waste of space is what is between those two ears."


Muhammad A. Kemal
"The author may or may not belongs to any political party or anti Pakistan group but he is not well equipped with the history of Pakistan. Moreover, he does not have information in Tableeghi Jamat. It's a misleading book which may cause more hatred in the heart of people. We should all condemn it."
