This book examines the pursuit of independence for Jammu and Kashmir since 1947 by Maharaja Hari Singh, Sheikh Abdullah and pro-independence Muslims in the Kashmir region of this disputed entity. It comprehensively explains why this long-held aspiration remains undiminished, but incomplete. -- .
Many disenchanted Kashmiris continue to demand independence or freedom from India. Written by a leading authority on Kashmir''s troubled past, this book revisits the topic of independence for the region (also known as Jammu and Kashmir, or J&K), and explores exactly why this aspiration has never been fulfilled. In a rare India-Pakistan agreement, they concur that neither J&K, nor any part of it, can be independent. Charting a complex history and intense geo-political rivalry from Maharaja Hari Singh''s leadership in the mid-1920s to the present, this book offers an essential insight into the disputes that have shaped the region. As tensions continue to rise following government-imposed COVID-19 lockdowns, Snedden asks a vital question: what might independence look like and just how realistic is this aspiration?
