Husain Haqqani is a writer in exile. The author is in Mumbai to promote his book: 'Reimagining Pakistan: Transforming a Dysfunctional Nuclear State'. Haqqani Pakistan's former ambassador to the US is now based in Washington DC. The Karachi-born writer says simply, "I live in exile. If I go back to Pakistan, I may be killed." In a freewheeling interview at a SoBo hotel, Haqqani speaks about terror, treason and Pakistan's unenviable position right now in the global context.
