‘Be Clear Kashmir will Vote for India’ Jammu & Kashmir 1947-1953 Reporting the Contemporary Understanding of the Unreported

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.

The Kashmir Conflict From Empire to the Cold War 1945-66

The Kashmir Conflict From Empire to the Cold War 1945-66

This book presents a study of the international dimensions of the Kashmir dispute between India and Pakistan from before its outbreak in October 1947 until the Tashkent Summit in January 1966. By focusing on Kashmir’s under-researched transnational dimensions it represents a different approach to this intractable territorial conflict. Concentrating on the global context(s) in which the dispute unfolded it argues that the dispute’s evolution was determined by international concerns that existed from before and went beyond the Indian subcontinent. Based on new and diverse official and personal papers across four countries the book foregrounds the Kashmir dispute in a twin setting of Decolonisation and the Cold War and investigates the international understanding around it within the imperatives of these two processes. In doing so it traces Kashmir’s journey from being a residual irritant of the British Indian Empire to becoming a Commonwealth embarrassment and its eventual metamorphosis into a security concern in the Cold War climate(s). A princely state of exceptional geo-strategic location complex religious composition and unique significance in the context of Indian and Pakistani notions of nation and statehood Kashmir also complicated their relations with Britain the United States Soviet Union China the Commonwealth countries and the Afro-Arab-Asian world. This book is of interest to scholars in the field of Asian History Cold War History Decolonisation and South Asian Studies. | The Kashmir Conflict From Empire to the Cold War 1945-66

Armed Conflicts in South Asia 2013 Transitions

The Origins Of War In South Asia Indopakistani Conflicts Since 1947

The Origins Of War In South Asia Indopakistani Conflicts Since 1947

In examining the forces that made the Indo-Pakistani relationship prone to conflict Dr. Ganguly focusses first on the nature of the British colonial disengagement policy a hasty and ill-conceived procedure that served to exacerbate the ideological differences between India's major political parties the Congress and the Muslim League. Their competing views–the Congress espoused a secular polity while the League drew its inspiration from Islamic tenets–formed the basis of the two polities that emerged from the collapse of the British Indian empire. Disputes also arose over the uncertain status of Kashmir. With the lapse of the British doctrine of paramountcy (recognition of the British as the sovereign power in India) the so-called princely states had to join either India or Pakistan on the basis of geographic location and demographic composition. Kashmir posed a problem because of its location and because it had a Hindu monarch ruling a Muslim majority population. This peculiar status made it the center of a Pakistani irredentist claim. This claim was rejected by India iintent upon demonstrating that all minorities could thrive under the aegis of secular government. Once set in motion by the interplay of domestic regional and systematic factors these three forces-disengagement ideological differences and the conflict over Kashmir-brought the subcontinent to war in 1947-1948 1965 and 1971. Dr. Ganguly provides a comprehensive and comparative analysis of these three Indo-Pakistani conflicts as well as an assessment of both the impact of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan on the security of South Asia and the changes in the perceptions of that security. | The Origins Of War In South Asia Indopakistani Conflicts Since 1947

Conflict in India and China's Contested Borderlands A Comparative Study

Conflict in India and China's Contested Borderlands A Comparative Study

For a long time India and China have been seen as the rising economic giants on the Asiatic mainland. Studies of the conflicts which have plagued the borderlands of India and China however have tended to only analyse individual case studies without attempting to compare and contrast the situation in these conflicts. This book compares and contrasts the situation in India’s disputed borderlands – Kashmir and the Indian north eastern states – with China’s contested borderlands – Xinjiang and Tibet. The book looks at the root causes of the conflict and how these conflicts have evolved and changed their character with the passage of time. Analysing how the countries have dealt with their territorial disputes from the 50’s till more recent times the author shows to what extent these state policies have exacerbated the already strained situation. Using primary data collected primarily through interviews from the people/inhabitants of these conflict zones the book throws new light on the problem. This bottom up approach allows the people to speak and provides a different understanding of the nature of the conflict which may very well be the way forward for long lasting peace. A comparative study of the conflicts in the contested borderlands of China and India the book will be of interest to scholars studying Asian security studies and Asian Politics particularly and Defence and Security Studies more generally. | Conflict in India and China's Contested Borderlands A Comparative Study

From Obscurity to Light Women in Early Medieval Orissa (Seventh to Twelfth Centuries AD)

From Obscurity to Light Women in Early Medieval Orissa (Seventh to Twelfth Centuries AD)

This book attempts to reintegrate women into the socio-political milieu of early medieval Orissa. Its sources are inscriptions mostly Sanskrit that date from the seventh century to the end of the reign of the Imperial Ganga ruler Anantavarman Codagangadeva (CE 1078-1147). The evidence indicates that royal and non-royal women had varying but undeniably important roles to play in the socio-political fabric of this prominent regional entity. The Bhauma-Kara dynasty (c. mid-eighth/ninth-late tenth century) that witnessed the rule of six women four of them in succession is a case in point. In addition the palpable presence of several other royal and non-royal women is consistently documented in the epigraphic record. This is an aspect that has received very little attention in secondary works thereby rendering this study a pioneering one. The work follows on from Rangachari’s earlier Invisible Women Visible Histories: Gender Polity and Society in North India (7th to 12th century ad) which had focused on important gendered aspects of early medieval north India through an analysis of literary and epigraphic sources of Kashmir Kanauj Bengal and Bihar. The invisibilization of women whereby their presence is routinely ignored or trivialized was similarly its underlying essence.

US-Pakistan Relations Pakistan s Strategic Choices in the 1990s

US-Pakistan Relations Pakistan s Strategic Choices in the 1990s

US foreign policy-making from the end of the Cold War to after 2001 is crucial to understanding the years of strong US engagement with Pakistan that would follow 9/11. This book explains Pakistan’s strategic choices in the 1990s by examining the role of the United States in the shaping of Islamabad’s security goals. Drawing upon a diverse range of oral history interviews as well as available written sources the book explains the American contribution to Pakistani security objectives during the presidency of Bill Clinton (1993-2001). The author investigates and explains the dynamics which drove Islamabad’s pursuit of nuclear weapons its support for the Taliban and its approach towards the indigenous uprising in Indian Kashmir. She argues that Clinton’s foreign policy contributed to the hardening of Islamabad’s security perspectives creating space for the Pakistani military establishment to pursue its regional security goals. The book also discusses the argument that US-Pakistan relations during this period were driven by a Cold War mindset causing a fissure between US global and Pakistan’s regional security goals. The Pakistani military and civilian leadership utilized these divergent and convergent trends to protect Islamabad’s India-centric strategic interests. The book addresses a gap in the relevant literature and moves beyond the available mono-causal explanations often distorted by a mixture of intellectual obfuscation and political rhetoric. It adds a Pakistani perspective and is a valuable contribution to the study of US-Pakistan relations. | US-Pakistan Relations Pakistan�s Strategic Choices in the 1990s

The Unfought War of 1962 An Appraisal

The Unfought War of 1962 An Appraisal

China’s territorial disputes with India have been a matter of debate since 1950s. While China has amicably resolved boundary disputes with twelve out of its fourteen neighbouring countries it is yet to resolve its boundary disputes with India and Bhutan as also its maritime disputes in the South China Sea and East China Sea. This volume looks at the complex dynamics of India–China boundary disputes which remains unresolved. It is still the biggest challenge to the relations between the two countries. From the Indian perspective securing Arunachal and the Indus Watershed is highly important. From the Chinese point of view Karakoram and Xinjiang–Tibet road must be respected. Secondary issues have always occupied a central and pivotal focus in the relations between India and China. This work also shows how British efforts to secure a defined and natural boundary began immediately after the creation of Jammu and Kashmir in 1846 after Amritsar treaty. In the eastern sector such an effort began only in the first decade of twentieth century. Relevant documents have been presented which examines the role of bureaucrats diplomats generals and surveyors. It examines the treaties conventions correspondence as well as internal debates between changing British officials and their conflicting British policies. Nehru refused Chou En Lai in 1960 which in turn led to the unilateralism in Chinese attitude after 1962. The volume breaks new ground by evaluating the differing policies and explains how a secured boundary can ultimately be agreed upon.
