This book traces the roots of modern-day Kashmir and the role of
Sheikh Abdullah in its making. As the most influential political
figurehead in twentieth-century Kashmir, he played a crucial role
in its transformation from a kingdom to a state in independent
India. He was enigmatic and complex, to say the least. Following
his meteoric rise, he dominated the political scene for more than
50 years, with enduring impact. The volume presents a keen analysis
of pre-Independence events which led to the emergence of a
controversial and confused identity of the region. It also looks at
other major themes in the political life of Kashmir, including the
formation of the Muslim Conference, the plebiscite movement and the
Kashmir Accord. A major intervention in the political life of South
Asia, this book presents an inside-view of the history of modern
Kashmir through the life and times of Sheikh Abdullah. It will be
of great interest to scholars and researchers of politics, history,
and modern South Asia.
