Snedden Christopher - Independent Kashmir An Incomplete Aspiration - Hardcover

Binding: Hardcover
Description: Many disenchanted Kashmiris continue to demand independence or freedom from India. Written by a leading authority on Kashmir's troubled past this book revisits the topic of independence for the region (also known as Jammu and Kashmir or J& K) and explores exactly why this aspiration has never been fulfilled. In a rare India - Pakistan agreement they concur that neither J& K nor any part of it can be independent. Charting a complex history and intense geo - political rivalry from Maharaja Hari Singh's leadership in the mid - 1920s to the present this book offers an essential insight into the disputes that have shaped the region. As tensions continue to rise following government - imposed Covid - 19 lockdowns Snedden asks a vital question: what might independence look like and just how realistic is this aspiration?
