My new book on Kashmir


Kashmir and Indo-Pak Relations

Kashmir and Indo-Pak Relations, Politics of Reconciliation offers a no-holds-barred account of the developments in Kashmir politics and India-Pakistan relations as they unfolded between 2008 and 2013.Culled out from the author’s popular Sunday column in the Srinagar-based Greater Kashmir newspaper “statecraft” and other Op-eds, the book promises to take the reader beyond the traditional narratives on Kashmir and India-Pakistan relations. Provocative and deeply engaging Politics of Reconciliation aims to challenge the commonsense wisdom on the Kashmir question and Indo-Pak relations. Section I of the book, divided into six chapters, deals with the fast-changing nuances of the conflict transformation processes in and on Kashmir. Section II of the book, divided into five chapters, deals with the intricacies of India-Pakistan relations and the potential pathways towards peaceful coexistence.
