In 1942 William Brown was posted as a recently commissioned Indian Army Officer to the Gilgit Agency in the very north of the North West Frontier. He travelled widely, learnt the local dialects and built the Chilas Polo ground. After a brief period away from Gilgit, just prior to Partition in early 1947 he was appointed acting Commandant of the Gilgit Scoots.??To his horror he learnt that the Viceroy Lord Mountbatten had ruled that Gilgit, despite being 99% Muslim, should be ceded to Hindu rule.

Kashmir has been in geopolitical limbo since the partition of the British Raj in 1947. A region of stunning natural beauty and diverse ethnicities and cultures, its people have experienced military tension, violence, state oppression, and terrorism, for decades. This book provides an introduction to Kashmir and explores the reasons for the tensions within the region itself as well as the wider-reaching implications of those tensions. The international relations between India, Pakistan and China, are crucial to understanding this conflict, as are the relationships between those nations and the wider world. The changing nature of global politics continues to affect Kashmir and this book highlights the many reasons that peace in the region needs to be seen as a priority by global leaders. In exploring the practice of transitional justice in Timor-Leste (formerly East Timor) and in South Africa, Schuurmans presents potential routes to peace in Kashmir, and azaadi for its people.
The book fulfillss a need to have a fresh look at the hitherto neglected aspects of Kashmir conflict viz. the developments in Kashmir across LOC. Pakistan s policy towards POK is characterized by not only ambiguity and contradiction but also domination and exploitation. Its claim to support Kashmir s right to self-determination is contrasted by the ideology of POK s accession. Any final solution of Kashmir imbroglio must take into account the realities across the line of control.
