The Kashmir Question

Meer over het boek

"The Kashmir Question: India's Relinquishment" delves deep into the intricate tapestry of the ethnoreligious conflict in the Indian state of Kashmir, offering a compelling case study with global implications. This meticulously researched book explores the historical experiences of Kashmiri Hindus and Muslims living under each other's rule, tracing the profound influence of religion on their shared history and the contemporary state of affairs. The narrative unravels the complex web of factors that have made Kashmir a formidable challenge in the realm of world diplomacy, including political dynamics, the role of civil society, and the interplay of religious identities. For over 500 years, Kashmiri Hindus and Muslims coexisted, but poor governance and protective practices fueled by religious differences led to a stark segregation between communities.
