A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Kashmir lies at the edge of India's borders and at the heart of India's consciousness. It is not geography that is the issue; Kashmir also guards the frontiers of ideology. If there was a glow of hope in the deepening shadows of a bitter Partition, then it was Kashmir, whose people consciously rejected the false patriotism of fundamentalism and made common cause with secular India instead of theocratic Pakistan. Kashmir was, as Sheikh Abdullah said and Jawaharlal Nehru believed, a stabilising force for India. Why has that harmony disintegrated? Why has the promise been stained by the blood of rebellion? Placing the mistakes and triumphs of those early, formative years in the perspective of history, the author goes on to explain how the 1980's have opened the way for Kashmir's hitherto marginalised secessionists. Both victory and defeat have their lessons: to forget either is to destabilise the future. Kashmir and the mother country are inextricably linked. India cannot afford to be defeated in her Kashmir.
