Book Summary
Learning How To Fly:Ifeessons For The Youth (Tamil) offers a compelling journey into Indo-Pak relations through the eyes of a seasoned diplomat. Part history, part memoir, this Tamil-language narrative invites young readers and curious minds to follow pivotal moments—from the expulsion of High Commissioner Ajay Bisaria from Islamabad to the tense climate surrounding Article 370—and to understand how diplomacy, courage, and careful decision-making shape world events. With an approachable, hopeful tone, it speaks directly to teens and young adults who want to grasp how leaders navigate crisis and diplomacy under pressure.
Written as a seamless narrative through the diplomat’s perspective, the book threads together historical milestones with intimate, behind-the-scenes moments. The account moves chronologically, weaving in the high-stakes decisions, personal conversations with leaders, and the long arc of disputes that have defined India–Pakistan relations since independence. This approach makes the complexity of diplomacy feel human and tangible.
For readers new to international relations, Learning How To Fly offers clear explanations of key concepts such as backchannel diplomacy, crisis management, and strategic negotiation. The prose is warm and accessible, blending storytelling with analysis to illuminate why certain choices were made—without getting bogged down in jargon. If you enjoy gripping real-world history or are curious about how diplomacy shapes everyday life, this book invites you to think deeply about the delicate balance behind every international move.
After finishing Learning How To Fly, readers gain a nuanced understanding of how diplomacy works under pressure, a deep appreciation for the complexities of international relations, and a lasting curiosity about the decisions that shape history. The book leaves young readers inspired to think critically and empathetically about the world around them.
