About Vinod Sharma
Political Editor Vinod Sharma has known Pakistan as a journalist and a peace activist for almost two decades. He reported out of Islamabad in the tense, often troublesome, early 1990s; watched A B Vajpayee visit Minar-e-Pakistan in 1999 and accompanied Indian MPs– including Lalu Yadav— on their 2003 peace mission to Pakistan. A year later, he led a delegation of Indian journalists to the Pakistani side of Kashmir. Sharma tracked the aftermath of Benazir Bhutto’s 2007 assassination through Pervez Musharraf’s fall and Asif Zardari’s elevation as President. His scarp book has cross-border tales of a civil society with which India can and must relate.
