Kashmir Across LOC

Debidatta Aurobinda Mahapatra (Author) Seema Shekhawat (Author)

Synopsis Discourses on Kashmir till recently were largely confined to developments in Kashmir in Indian side. The book recognizes the imperative to have a fresh look at the issue in its totality by studying the hitherto neglected aspects of Kashmir conflict. It is an attempt to look at the developments in Kashmir across the line of control. Pakistan's policy towards Kashmir under its control is characterized by not only ambiguity and contradiction but also subjugation and exploitation. Its claim that it supports Kashmir's right to self-determination is contrasted by the ideology of Kashmir's accession to Pakistan incorporated in the constitution of Kashmir under its control. The study is timely and significant as it is one of the first elaborate studies on Kashmir under the control of Pakistan. It bears special significance because any final solution of Kashmir must take into account the realities across the line of control. This comprehensive work will be of interest to a wide readership including scholars, human rights activists, journalists, policy makers and every one interested in Kashmir.
