This book provides accounts of the diverse group identified in Janmu & Kashmir (J&K)- Kashmir Muslims Pandits Gujjars Paharis, Dogras and Ladakhi Buddhist their politicisation and demands ranging from affirmative discrimination more autonomy and a separate constitutional status to outright secession.
This book provides a holistic understanding of the region and the conflict. The most striking feature of this book is that we get a completely unbiased account of the politics of the region. This one is really a must read for everyone who wishes to study Jammu and Kashmir. Of all the books that I have read about Kashmir, this one remains my all time favourite!
