- Synopsis
- Kashmir has always been special. It came to India in 1947 in special circumstances and with special protection of its autonomy, guaranteed under Article 370 of the Indian Constitution, something that Indian political parties often forget. Kashmir is special also because it is the main reason, perhaps the only real one, why India and Pakistan continue to be enemies so many years after the subcontinent was divided by Partition. It is special to Pakistan because it symbolizes the unfairness of a division, based on Islam, which left a Muslim-majority state contiguous to Pakistan in India. As such it represents to Pakistanis what is often described as "the unfinished business of Partition’. Kashmir is special to India because it is seen as the most important proof of Indian secularism. This book concerns itself with more recent events in the hope that in an attempt to understand the mistakes that have been made since 1975, we might find clues to future answers.
