Aatish Taseer

When Aatish Taseer, the son of a controversial Pakistani politician and a well-known Sikh journalist set out to understand his absent father and his faith, the result was a highly acclaimed non-fiction book called Stranger to History.

Aatish talks to The Strand about his much-anticipated first work of fiction, a novel called The Temple Goers, which explores the tensions around religion and class in a rapidly changing India.
