Is this an interview about the book or him?!
😂😂
Very weak book. I'm very disappointed by his lack of information about Afghanistan and persia. There is not a single evidence about the existence of persian empire in persian history books and scripts. Persian empire has never ruled in Afghanistan. The other fact the today's persian language stammes from Afghanistan or the old Khorasan and Iran has always been part of Khorasan (Afghanistan) except the two dynasties (sasanid and safavid). Safavid is where iran got like indipendent after the fall of last great Khorasan empire, (Timurid Herat). Persian language stammes from cities of Herat (Aria) and Balkh (Bactria). As an Afghan I'm very disappointed about the fact that Iranians have brainwashed the world and also the less effort the world has put to find out what the truth is.
India please open your eyes and join the CPEC! you are not going to gain anything while creating obstructions. It is going to go forward anyway whether you are in or out, So it's better for you to get in and pull millions out of poverty!!!!!!!!!
CPEC is a Debt trap. Look at the examples around the world who participated in this exercise, Sri Lanka, Djibouti, Cambodia, Philipines and now Pakistan. The Chinese use the land of the country they give loan to, and use their companies and workers for the infrastructures. And they willingly give those loans at high-interest rates, knowing that the countries are poor and will inventively unable to pay those loans on time. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ARE UNABLE TO PAY THOSE LOANS? THEY TAKE THE INFRASTRUCTURE FOR A 99 YEAR LEASE. MOST OF THOSE ARE NAVAL BASES THAT SURROUND INDIA. Malaysia recently canceled a lot of its Loans from china because they saw the future after seeing the examples of others. So now, I hope you understand why India did not jump on the bandwagon of China Economic Corridors.
And get out of Sikkim!
@@AtulPYadav Just look at Laos - roads / dams etc. The Chinese will own the country.

You posted these lies twice. Why? Why also, the hate for a globally recognized empire...the Persian Empire. Why the inferiority complex?
@@IndoPakCanvashave u ever seen a single sentence that mentions about that dynasty/empire in PERSIAN history books? NOOOOO so be quiet and start reading history.
