How does an ‘argumentative Indian’ navigate the restrictive public discourse of the Middle East? And after two decades, has he finally given in—or found a way to push back?\u003cbr\u003e\nEhtesham Shahid has spent over 20 years in the Middle East as a journalist, editor, and columnist—reporting on groundbreaking stories, documenting seismic shifts, and living through the region’s many contradictions. From the good to the bad to the deeply complicated, his journey through the Gulf and wider Middle East has been as unpredictable as the headlines he’s written.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis book is a culmination of those years—an insightful, often witty, and deeply personal account of life and work in a region constantly in flux. Drawing from newsroom experiences, think tank reflections, and field observations, Shahid explores how India’s growing expatriate presence has reshaped perceptions while unravelling the stereotypes and realities that define the modern Middle East.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789365473407\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.5 x 5.6 x 0.9 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BluOne Ink Pvt.
