  Paperback ₹595 ₹ 595   M.R.P:  ₹650 ₹650   (8% off) BUY NOW On the seventieth anniversary of Indian independence, Partition, and the creation of Pakistan, this ground breaking collection brings together fourteen cutting-edge scholarly essays on multiple aspects of both the region and the issue of Kashmir. While keeping the political dimensions of the dispute over the territory in focus, these innovative essays branch out from the high politics of the conflict to consider less well-known aspects and areas of Kashmir. They examine the continuities and ruptures between Kashmir's past and its present situation; reevaluate the contemporary political scenario from the perspective of gender, economic and political marginality, everyday experiences, and governance; and analyze the ways in which the region of Kashmir and its people are represented and (re)present themselves in films and literature through their regional and religious identities, and commodities.

The dam burst the night boys from the separatist JKLF group were freed in exchange for the release of Rubaiya Sayeed, the Union home minister's daughter. As Farooq Abdullah had predicted, the government's caving in emboldened many Kashmiris into thinking that azaadi was possible. 'The price we will have to pay' were Farooq's prophetic words. Killings were almost a daily occurrence. Bomb explosions and firings took place close to the chief minister's residence in the most secure zone. Gun-toting youth in trucks were seen close to the cantonment. Kashmiris believed that they were on the verge of liberation.It was a long, slow haul to regaining control. From then to now, A.S. Dulat has had a continuous engagement with Kashmir. The initiatives launched by the Vajpayee government, in powe...

  Paperback ₹538 ₹ 538   BUY NOW In 1846, the British created the state of Jammu and Kashmir and then quickly sold this prized region to the wily and powerful Raja Gulab Singh. Intriguingly, had they retained it, the India-Pakistan dispute over possession of the state may never have arisen, but Britain’s concerns lay elsewhere––expansionist Russia, beguiling Tibet and unstable China––and their agents played the ‘Great Game’ in Afghanistan and what was then known as ‘Turkistan’. In this authoritative book, Christopher Snedden contextualizes the geo-strategic and historical circumstances surrounding the British decision to relinquish prestigious Kashmir, and explains how they and four Dogra maharajas consolidated and controlled J&K subsequently. He details the distant borders and disunified peoples that comprised this diverse princely state, and explains the Maharaja of Jammu and Kashmir’s controversial accession to India in 1947—and its unintended consequences. Snedden weav...

The treaty of Amritsar signed by the British East India Company and Maharaj...

  ₹ 199   BUY NOW A young girl, who is on a journey of finding her missing father, dedicates her entire life to tracing him. The story of two women whose strong bond of friendship transcends religion, brings us a lesser known, humane side of Kashmir. Another young girl falls in love and weaves a thousand dreams, but a shocking turn of events could very well cost her this dear love. Forgotten Tales  is a somber collection of 11 short stories, all set in times of conflict, but each revealing a different account, touching upon different aspects of people's lives in the valley. Torn by decades of conflict, Kashmir holds several untold stories of death, bloodshed, disappearances, rape, sufferings and injustice. But what's often forgotten in the midst of all this turmoil is that, these could also be stories of love, friendship, reminiscence and hope.
