The central point that this volume makes is that much of what
happened in Jammu & Kashmir in the critical first few years
(1947-53) needs a more careful reassessment. It is argued that
there were little voices of ordinary people that should have been
heard but were ignored. The political discourse that took centre
stage even as it appeared more assertive and representative of mass
public opinion was, however, as is now clear only a clever and
misleading political move. Much of the source material upon which
the author has based his study has till now remained unstudied and
uncited - rare hard to find books, pamphlets, articles in journals,
magazines and newspapers, official and party reports and so on. The
volume takes the reader back in time to a kind of ring side seat.
Kashmir's cultural and historical legacy, the invasion, the issue
of the plebiscite, the United Nations and the ceasefire, the Praja
Parishad and most important of all the political scene and its key
players - Prime Minister Nehru, Dr Syama Prasad Mookerjee and
Sheikh Abdullah. Based on the nature of its sources the volume
breaks free of a stereotyped approach to understanding the origin
of what we commonly term today as the 'Kashmir problem'. The volume
argues that contemporary views recorded as they are in the heat of
the moment with natural spontaneity often contain hidden lines and
new light. Not surprisingly contemporary versions tell us a story
very different from mainstream conventional writings on Jammu &
Kashmir. This timely volume will radically influence the existing
discourse on Jammu & Kashmir. Please note: Taylor & Francis
