Territory of Desire
A result of territorial disputes between India and Pakistan since 1947, exacerbated by armed freedom movements since 1989, the ongoing conflict over Kashmir is consistently in the news. Taking a unique multidisciplinary approach, Territory of Desire asks how, and why, Kashmir came to be so intensely desired within Indian, Pakistani, and Kashmiri nationalistic imaginations.
Dethroned
The dramatic true story of the betrayal of hundreds of Indian princely states by both the departing British and the new Congress government. In July 1947, India's last Viceroy, Lord Louis Mountbatten, stood before New Delhi's Chamber of Princes to deliver the most important speech of his career. He had just three weeks to convince over 550 sovereign princely states--some tiny, some the size of Britain--to become part of a free India. Once Britain's most faithful allies, the princes could choose between joining India or Pakistan, or declaring independence. This is a saga of intrigue, brinkmanship and broken promises, wrought by Mountbatten and two of independent India's founding fathers: the ...
Kashmir Crisis
Kashmir Crisis: Unholy Anglo-Pak Nexus, painstakingly researched and documented, provides an exhaustive study of the history of the crisis from 1947 to 1971. The initial Chapters speak of the splendour of Hindu Kashmir, its brilliant contribution to the cultural integration of India since time immemorial; and the forcible conversion of the Hindu population to Islam starting from the beginning of the fourteenth to the mid-nineteenth century by which time nine-tenths of the Hindus had become Muslims making Kashmir a Muslim majority State. The book then proceeds to present a connected and cogent account of the ghastly events that rocked Kashmir for about a quarter of a century following her accession to India in October 1947. Britain throughout played a partisan role not only when India took the matter to the UN but also in the wars of 1947 and 1965.
Terrorism in the state of Jammu & Kashmir, Causes, Enforcement and Public Response.
The spate of terrorist activities in various parts of India has been a cause of great concern for the last couple of decades. It has threatened the unity and integrity of India on one hand, and simultaneously causing an irreparable damage to millions of People in the country. In the State of Jammu and Kashmir, the wave of terrorism reached its Zenith in the last few decades. The Terrorist Activities which came to surface in the State of Jammu and Kashmir in later part of 1989, reached its peak by the middle of 1991. Being a legal Scholar and a silent spectator to the rise of terrorism in the State of Jammu and Kashmir, I was fascinated to work on a topic which could highlight the causes, operation of law and public response to terrorism in the State of Jammu and Kashmir. During the Period from 1989-1994, number of people have subscribed their views in relation to the terrorism in the State of Jammu and Kashmir through their articles, books, monographs; etc. However, no systematic study has been undertaken to unearth the causes, operation of law, Victimization and Public response of terrorism in the State of Jammu and Kashmir. The present study is a modest attempt in this direction.
