ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan has shared a predictive excerpt from Indian author Khushwant Singh’s book ‘The End Of India.’
Khushwant Singh wrote the book ‘The End Of India’ was published in 2003, when the government of prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee was in power.
The prime minister shared the excerpt which read, ” Every fascist regime needs communities and groups it can demonize in order to thrive.”

It added, “It starts with one group or two. But it never ends there. A movement built io hate can only sustain itself by continually creating fear and strife. Those of us today who feel secure because we are not Muslims or Christian are living in a fool’s paradise.”
It further added, “The Sangh is already targetting the Leftist historians and “Westernized” youth. Tomorrow it will turn its hate on women who wear skirts, people who eat meat, drink liquor, watch foreign films, don’t go on annual pilgrims to temples, use toothpaste instead of danth-manjan, prefer allopathic doctors to vaids, kiss or shake hands in greeting instead of shouting ‘Jai Shri Ram” No one is safe. We must realize this if we hope to keep India alive.”
