Forgotten Kashmir : the other side of the line of control / Dinkar P. Srivastava.

By: Srivastava, Dinkar P [author.].
Publisher: Noida : HarperCollins Publishers, 2021Description: xi, 439p. 22cm.ISBN: 9789390327768.Subject(s): Dispute resolution (Law) -- India -- Jammu and KashmirDDC classification: 327.5405491
Contents:
I. The beginning -- II. Revolt and pacification -- III. The Simla Agreement, the 'interim' constitution and Islamabad's rule by proxy -- IV. Judicial intervention -- V. A new order -- VI. The China factor -- VII. Wishes of the people, interests of Pakistan state and the future of POK.
Summary: Forgotten Kashmir examines the evolution of Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (POK) over the past seven decades. It includes major milestones like the 'tribal' invasion in 1947-48, the Sudhan revolt in the 1950s, the Ayub era, the Simla Agreement, the adoption of an 'Interim Constitution of 1974' and the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). It is not simply a historical account but one that analyses the events in POK against the background of developments in Pakistan's polity to better understand Pakistan's motivations for its policies in the region. The book delves into contentious issues such as the right of self-determination - that is distinct from the concept of plebiscite in Jammu and Kashmir which was debated in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). More recently, the Chinese presence in the region has been considered, which is bound to grow with the development of CPEC, which runs through the Northern Areas. The book covers internal developments in that remote area. The author, a seasoned diplomat, provides a wealth of information that comes from his stint in Karachi, involvement in the Jammu and Kashmir issue at the Ministry of External Affairs, discussions in the United Nations, and as a member of bilateral working groups to counter-terrorism with the US, EU, UK, and Canada.
