In a lively and uniquely comprehensive narrative of Kashmir’s past and current predicament, the book reinstates the cultural and political centrality of one of Asia’s most cherished but maligned states. What is it about this place that makes it so sought after, and fought over? Is it just an accident of geography that lends it such strategic importance? Or is it more to do with the observation of Emperor Jehangir: ‘If there is a paradise on Earth, this is it, this is it, this is it’? Answering these questions and more, Kashmir, Kashmir is a truly comprehensive history, spanning more than a millennium but with particular focus on post-Partition and contemporary tensions.
