Written by a leading authority on Kashmir's troubled past, this book revisits the topic of independence for the region (also known as Jammu and Kashmir, or J\u0026amp;K), and explores exactly why this aspiration has never been fulfilled. In a rare India-Pakistan agreement, they concur that neither J\u0026amp;K, nor any part of it, can be independent. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCharting a complex history and intense geo-political rivalry from Maharaja Hari Singh's leadership in the mid-1920s to the present, this book offers an essential insight into the disputes that have shaped the region. As tensions continue to rise following government-imposed COVID-19 lockdowns, Snedden asks a vital question: what might independence look like and just how realistic is this aspiration?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Snedden\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1526156148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526156143\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 456\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.19d","brand":"Christopher Snedden","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44047606153471,"sku":"9781526156143","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f6138cf4-9f9b-4e92-95c9-cd6b60c1c1b5.jpg?v=1684991179","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/independent-kashmir-christopher-snedden-9781526156143","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
