Discourses on Kashmir till recently
were largely confined to developments in Kashmir in Indian side. The book
recognizes the imperative to have a fresh look at the issue in its totality by
studying the hitherto neglected aspects of Kashmir conflict. It is an attempt
to look at the developments in Kashmir across the line of control.
Pakistan’s policy towards Kashmir
under its control is characterized by not only ambiguity and contradiction but
also subjugation and exploitation. Its claim that it supports Kashmir’s right
to self determination is contrasted by the ideology of Kashmir’s accession to
Pakistan incorporated in the constitution of Kashmir under its control.
The study is timely and significant as
it is one of the first elaborate studies on Kashmir under the control of
Pakistan. It bears special significance because any final solution of Kashmir
must take into account the realities across the line of control.
This comprehensive work will be of
interest to a wide readership including scholars, human rights activists,
journalists, policy makers and every one interested in Kashmir.
