2003The Kashmir section of the northern boundary is the heart of India’s boundary dispute with China. That is because Ladakh, of which the contentious Aksai Chin is a significant part, and Gilgit that stretched to the Little and Taghdumbash Pamirs, are central to India’s economic, political and military interests. Over these could run a distinctly possible autobahn or even a rail road to provide India her own commercial and political access to Central Asia. But then so are Tibet and Xinjiang, along the boundary, to which roads run from Ladakh and Gilgit, central to China’s interests. Therefore the eyeball to eyeball confrontation on the boundary for 50 years. The central and eastern sectors of the northern boundary are only pawns, an ultimate trade off, for Aksai Chin when time, China feels, is propitious for her. The boundary dispute is accentuated by an escalating economic and political rivalry worldwide between the two countries. This volume debunks many notions about the boundary dispute, delves deep into its different aspects to give a blow by blow account of as to how and why a conflict arose over the boundary. So also of the cloak and dagger diplomacy of Britain in Jammu and Kashmir State from day one it was born on 16th March 1846.

2008The book past, Present and Future of Kashmir deals in detail with the problem of the State of Jammu and Kashmir. Beginning with the political history of the state in ancient times it presents a chronology of Kashmiri rulers - Hindus, Muslims and the British respectively. When India was to become independent it was ruled by a Hindu King who failed in either way to decide the fate of the territory like other princely states of India. As a result of the mini war between India and Pakistan a portion of it was held by the latter and is known as Azad Kashmir. In post-independence phase it continues to be a contentious issue between the two neighbours and caused four devastating wars over it.

Based on his experience of service to the nation for nearly three quarters of a century in various capacities as an Army officer for forty years, as Ambassador for one year, and as Governor of Assam and of Jammu and Kashmir for eleven years," in the two most sensitive states in the country, he has given suggestions for dealing with the several serious security problems facing us. This book is A Good source of reference for present and future generations. "The artist views shadowing like the merging of tree, hazarding if it can subsume the body. Colouring of the dust cover lacquers and violently shakes the wide sweep of book through its 216 pages." About The Author:- Lt. Gen. S.K. Sinha, PVSM, was born in January 1926 and soon after graduating from Patna University in 1943, joined the Army. He saw combat service in Burma, Indonesia and Kashmir, Nagaland and Manipur. He held all levels of active command from a platoon to a field army. He also held key staff and instructional appointments. He received the highest military award for distinguished service. He resigned as Vice Chief of Army Staff in 1983 following his surprise supersession for Army Chief. This rocked the Parliament and led to much controversy in the media. Stephen Cohen, the noted US expert on South Asia referred to him as one of India's most outstanding Generals since Independence. He was appointed India's Ambassador to Nepal in 1990 when Indo-Nepal relations had hit their nadir. He restored them to the highest level of cordiality and helped in restoration of democracy in Nepal. The Prime Minister of Nepal wrote, "General Sinha was as much India's Ambassador to Nepal as Nepal's Ambassador to India." In 1997 he was appointed Governor of Assam when insurgency was at its peak. During his tenure ULFA insurgency was wiped out and a mind change brought about among the people. He was popularly called "a true son of the soil of Assam". In 2003 he was appointed Governor of Jammu and Kashmir. During his five year tenure, near normalcy was restored in the State with the average rate of daily killing coming down from 10 to I. His effort to promote Kashmiriyat, amity across religious divide, was much appreciated. Dr Abdul Kalam highly commended it. Contents:- Introduction Part I : OLD MEMORIES : , 1. When Bapu Died , 2.

2014This book on Kashmir titled History of Kas'mira (Kashmir) is his ten years research and writing effort, which covers many facets of Kas'mira (Kashmir) Aryans, Naga's, Evolution, Rulers from Ancient times, Religious Beliefs/Worship, Religious Era's, Aberrations in Kalhan's Rajatarangiri and Goddesses of Kas'mira (Kashmir). The contents are all that what we must know about Kas'mira; triumphs, travails, origins and various facets of history Brigadier Kaul was the one to bring, for the first time, latest photograph of more than 1000 years old Sharda Temple in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir and share it with Goddess Sharda's worshippers in India.These are not the triumphs and travails of Aryan Saraswat Brahmins of Kas'mira {Kashmir}, commonly referred to as Bhatta or now Kashmiri Pandit, but transition of Aryan Saraswat community as a whole through millenniums of religious philosophies, search of identity, Gotra orientation, honorific's; Bhatta and Pandit and selective surnames. This medium intends to remind of Aryan roots, genesis of specific names and surnames, honorific, with details, to give insight of that era, before these pass into oblivion.

2006The demand of State autonomy has remained a highly contentious issue in Indian Politics right since the time when accession of Kashmir to the Indian federalism took place. This is a demand that often generate tension between Center and the State. It is felt that the autonomy for the State may actually come to mean autonomy for Kashmir region only. It may not flow to the regional and sub-regional levels. The autonomy that extends beyond the State needs a multi-layered package of autonomy that extends beyond the State to the regional or sub-regional levels. Autonomy is needed to inspire confidence to the people, to make the system more democratic, to ensure speedier and balanced development and to make the administration accountable to the people and thus more efficient and above all, to evolve a composite and harmonious personality of the State. None of these can be achiever in the present unitary system of the state and by centralization of power and administration. A more federalized and bottom-up approach is needed to solve the problem of the State. This book is an attempt to examine the relationship of Kashmir identity with the Indian Union, the regional identity of Jammu and Ladakh with the State. This book on the one hand is the description of the relationship between the Centre and the State and on the other hand is the description of relationship between the three regions, namely Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh. My prescription is deeply federal and decentralizing in nature. About The Author:- Sunita, is a Lecturer in Kalindi College, University of Delhi.

2009Early History of Jammu Region (Pre-historic to 6th Century A.D.), has been written in the interest of Brahminical historians to understand the basic concept of the Scientific History which have been originated from the Sudhra Family or the Dalit Kings. Modern historians after 1947 have neglected the Sudhra Race without any reasoning and logic dependent on nothing else than their professions. Moreover, Dalits have practical experiences of the 'Life' in human form, which are neglected by the Upper Classes of the society as a degraded race of the world history. The Historian of Sudhra background gives a challenge to them that original History in natural form is going to predict as a threat for those who do not believe in the Sudhra Race.

2010Kashmir Crisis: Unholy Anglo-Pak Nexus, painstakingly researched and documented, provides an exhaustive study of the history of the crisis from 1947 to 1971. The initial Chapters speak of the splendour of Hindu Kashmir, its brilliant contribution to the cultural integration of India since time immemorial; and the forcible conversion of the Hindu population to Islam starting from the beginning of the fourteenth to the mid-nineteenth century by which time nine-tenths of the Hindus had become Muslims making Kashmir a Muslim majority State. The book then proceeds to present a connected and cogent account of the ghastly events that rocked Kashmir for about a quarter of a century following her accession to India in October 1947. Britain throughout played a partisan role not only when India took the matter to the UN but also in the wars of 1947 and 1965. With conviction and clarity, the author traces the role of Britain in the Indo-Pakistan dispute on Kashmir, which was neither fair, nor honest, nor ethical. In all her acts of aggression including the unprovoked wars against India to undo the accession of Kashmir to her, Pakistan had the full cooperation and the support of Britain both openly and clandestinely. To add insult to injury, Britain chose to maintain an ominous silence over Pakistan's illegal annexations of Indian territories in Kashmir, which were named 'Azad Kashmir' and which became a hotbed of intrigue and treachery. Until the late 1960s, Britain's policy on the Kashmir crisis was to make Pakistan, the aggressor, a beneficiary at the expense of India.

2011Ladakh is a remote area in the western Himalayan region. In spite of the huge mountain ranges, Ladakh had developed into an active and important religious, cultural and commercial relation with many areas including Buddhist Tibet. Ladakh along with Sikkhim, Bhutan and Mustang in the Himalaya continuous to be practiced Tibetan Buddhism as a living religion, as it has been for thousands years. This study traces the deep historical relationship between Ladakh and Buddhist Tibet. I have used the term Buddhist Tibet to indicate the time period that is before Chinese occupy Tibet. I would like to express my gratitude for the assistance I have received from various people and institutions researching and writing this book. This book have mainly grown out of a dissertation that I wrote at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), New Delhi. Few articles that I have already published are also included in the book.

2014This book deals with the demographic and social transformation in the state of Jammu and Kashmir after 1947. While demographic transformation in the state reflects the changes in population aggregates, size and composition and other aspects, different trends of migration such as 'the migration of Pandits' and 'labourmigration' represent the process. On the other hand, the related social transformation reveals the overall social structure, function and social relationships and emerging social problems. Dealing with the major and minor trends of migration in J&K, which had solid social repercussions for the whole society, it examines the patters of population change as was revealed in decadal census reports from 1951 – 2011. This is primarily a sociological presentation of census-based population changes. Finally, it analyzes the broader sociological implications of population changes and migration trends. The important areas in this regard have been identified as late marriage, increasing suicides, rising number of never married, increasing crime and domestic violence, Pandit migration and labour migration.
