Kashmir As I See It - Ashok Dhar - Bog

Stories of the trauma and betrayal faced by Kashmiris have been told, the events retraced andanalysis offered. And yet, one of the most long-standing disputes in India''s post-Independencehistory remains unsettled. If it were up to Lal Ded, a Sufi poet, she would offer the most difficultsolution so far-to look within. Kashmir As I See It, a personal journey interspersed with geopoliticalanalysis, is not only about the state but also about the voice that yearns to be home again.Ashok Dhar slowly and carefully uncovers multiple layers of the conflict to show that apart frombeing a territorial dispute, it is also about historicity, morality and leadership-aspects that havebeen neglected so far. He holds that looking merely at the legality of the state''s accession is likelooking at an iceberg; peace will not come if we have not examined what Kashmiriyat is.
