Aatish Taseer is one of the most popular and richest Author who was born on November 27, 1980 in London, London, India. Aatish Ali Taseer (born 27 November 1980) is a British writer and journalist.
On 16 July 2011, The Wall Street Journal published a piece its editors provocatively, and somewhat misleadingly, titled “Why My Father Hated India”. Although Taseer used his father’s distaste for all things Indian as an example, or metaphor, the article attempted to explain a much bigger question – a question about Pakistan’s apparent unhealthy obsession with India and vice versa. It argued that “to understand the Pakistani obsession with India, to get a sense of its special edge — its hysteria — it is necessary to understand the rejection of India, its culture and past, that lies at the heart of the idea of Pakistan”, He continued: “In the absence of a true national identity, Pakistan defined itself by its opposition to India.” The article remained the most emailed and commented-on on The Wall Street Journal website for days and at the end of July it was by far the most emailed of the month.
Since his father’s assassination on 6 January 2011, Taseer has written about the situation in Pakistan leading up to and following the incident. These pieces attempt to go far beyond the immediate events surrounding his father’s murder. A piece for The Daily Telegraph published just two days after, extended his view from the incident.
Taseer divides his time between New Delhi and New York. In 2016, he married lawyer Ryan Davis in New York. Previously, he was in a relationship with Lady Gabriella Windsor, daughter of the Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, whom he had met when she was an undergraduate at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, and he at Amherst College in Massachusetts.
Taseer has worked for Time, and as a freelance journalist also written for Prospect, The Sunday Times, The Sunday Telegraph, Financial Times, TAR magazine and Esquire. Taseer’s opinion pieces have garnered both attention and critical appreciation. David Goodhart drew attention to Taseer’s piece on feudal Pakistan, Travels with the mango king in his article “Prospect’ s 10 Most Influential Articles”. In 2010, he wrote a piece on the controversy surrounding the possible construction of the “Ground Zero Mosque” in Manhattan, Tolerance test for New York.
