 Atrocities on Kashmiris by Pak-Trained
Terrorists
Since
1990, planned and organized secessionist-terrorism has
brutalized Kashmir, the valley of peace and exquisite
beauty. Systematic efforts have been made to destroy its
syncretic culture, traditions, and heritage, by an orgy of
mindless violence fueled by religious fanaticism and
extremism, aided and abetted from across India's borders.

 Paradise
Lost: Seven Exoduses of Kashmiri Pandits
So
much has been sung of the marvellous and
magnificent beauty of the physiography of
Kashmir, 'Paradise on Earth' by saints and
sages, philosophers and poets, mystics and
bards, divines and emperors, historians and
travelers from far and near, that I wish I
could describe one hundredth of what they
have sung. >>>

 Understanding
the Kashmir Turmoil
Kashmir,
the most picturesque area in this part of
the world, known for its beauty, gardens and
gentle people has been reduced to a region
of ghosts because of the devious means
adopted by Pakistan to incite the people by
giving them arms and instigating them into
terrorism. This booklet gives a brief
insight into the role of Pakistan and the
pitiable condition of the people of Kashmir.

been established by people who have been
part of Kashmir's freedom struggle and
other well meaning friends in the country

about the State, the genesis of the
present turmoil and related issues. This

 Kashmir
Article 370
The
present study is aimed to trace the process of
federalization in India and the inclusion of
special provisions for the Jammu and Kashmir State
embodied in Article 370 of the Constitution of
India. Since Jammu and Kashmir presents a variant
of the federal structure in which the Indian
States were welded, the present study is expected
to provide a perspective for the future evolution
of the federal frames which the founding fathers
of the Constitution of India constructed. >>>

 White
Paper on Kashmir
The
present crisis in the Jammu and Kashmir State is
a continuation of the Muslim struggle in India
for an independent Muslim homeland, which
culminated in the separation of the Muslim
majority provinces of Sindh, North-West Frontier
Province, and Buluchistan, the Muslim majority
areas of West Punjab and East Bengal and the
Muslim majority division of Sylhet of the Hindu
majority province of Assam, to form the state of
Pakistan. >>>

 The
Poplar and the Chinar: Kashmir in a
Historical Outline
The
paper presents the recent militancy in
Kashmir in a historical context. The
policies of the Government of India that
have contributed to the alienation of the
different religious communities of the State
are analyzed. The militancy is seen as an
attempt by the fundamentalists to wean the
Kashmiri Muslims away from their heritage of
Rishi Islam that includes elements of
Shaivism. >>>

 Kashmir:
The Storm Center of the World
The
author has chosen a right title for his
book. It is quite eloquent. Kashmir IS the
storm center of the world. This fact has
been kept hidden so far but not any
longer. There is a lot to learn from Mr.
Madhok's present book and no doubt
students of history and international
politics will find the book extremely
informative, if not shocking. >>>

 The
Kashmir Story
The
book attempts to project facts and facts
alone and also underline the grievances
of the Kashmiri people. Yes, they do
have grievances and it is the business
of the Government of India to redress
them. So one believes, it is not the
business of Pakistan or any other
country to say "do it or
else?". India can look after its
territory and its people. Otherwise
democracy here could not have survived
all these years unlike in Pakistan.

of Kashmiri Pandits has given birth to a

Their books, some of them already

revised opinions and rethinking on many
vital subjects that deeply concern and

 Of
Shrines and Blackmail
Hostage
politics is not restricted to men or captive school children.
Shrines have also become a part of the politics of hostages,
especially in the Kashmir valley. Get into a Shrine, threaten
to burn it, place your explosives or incendiaries all along
the building- a charge near the dead saint's tomb or the
sacred relic- encircle the building with mines and the
militant starts feeling that he is in the driver's seat.

 Language
and Politics in Jammu and Kashmir: Issues and
Prespectives
It
is surprising that the neglect of Kashmiri has never
been a theme of unrest and anti-Indian movement in
Kashmir. It is mainly because the Kashmiri Muslims
have been swayed by their intellectual elite and
political leaders of all hues (whether in power or out
of it), most of whom have been educated at the Aligarh
Muslim University, thereby imbibing the spirit of
Aligarh movement which regards Urdu as the symbol of
Muslim cultural identity. >>>

Kashmir:
Distortions and Reality
This
book is at once a sharp departure from the prevailing
practice of writing on Kashmir. It gives the inside
account of what actually happened during the last four
years and is not a partisan publication. Facts have
been revealed in the larger national interest. Many
prevalent assumed notions about territorial and
political aspects of J&K state have been nailed.

 Kashmir:
Constitutional History and Documents
Contrary
to claims made by Kashmiri secessionists and
their sympathizers, there is no legal
ambiguity about the accession of Jammu and
Kashmir state to India. At the time of
independence from Britain in 1947, the more
than 500 principalities that formed the Indian
dominion had the option to join India or the
newly formed Pakistan, or declare themselves
an independent state. >>>

 Afghanistan
Factor
Afghanistan is located at the crossroads of Central, South and West Asia,
sharing its borders with the Central Asian States of Tajikistan,
Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan on the north, Chinese province of Xinjiang in
the east, Iran on the west and south-west, and Pakistan and Pak-occupied
territory of Kashmir on the south and south-east. Due to its strategic
placement Afghanistan became the focal point of intense rivalry between
Tsarist Russia and Britain during the nineteenth century. >>>

 Why
Homeland for Kashmiri Pandits?
The call for a homeland has
become not only natural and necessary but urgent as well. The community
has arrived at a water- shed in history. It is now or never that it has to
fling the cloak of minority complex under which it fossilized itself into
inaction through the centuries. >>>

 Kashmir:
Facts Speak
It
is not Kashmiri Pandit - a miniscule minority - suffering,
but it is a patriot punished for holding fast to his
patriotism. The nation may afford to treat him callously but
the posterity will not forgive the nation for not holding
fast to protect the nationhood by securing and safeguarding
the life of true patriots. To see the problem in its
entirety one needs to look into the figures of the Govt. of
Jammu & Kashmir which tell a tale of their own. >>>
