FORGOTTEN KASHMIR Hardcover

Forgotten Kashmir: The Other Side of the Line of Control" offers a meticulously researched and insightful examination of the evolution of Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (POK) over the past seven decades. Authored by a seasoned diplomat, Dinkar P. Srivastava, the book delves into crucial milestones from the "tribal" invasion of 1947-48 to the Sudhan revolt, the Simla Agreement, and the growing Chinese presence via the CPEC. It goes beyond a simple historical account, analyzing these events against the backdrop of Pakistan's internal political developments to illuminate their motivations and policies in the region, while also clarifying contentious issues like the right of self-determination versus plebiscite.
