Why has the valley of Kashmir, famed for its beauty and
tranquility, become a major flashpoint, threatening the
stability of a region of great strategic importance to pose
a nuclear threat for the entire world? This book examines
the Kashmir conflict in its historical context, from the
period when the valley was an independent kingdom right up
to the struggles of the present day. Drawing upon research
in India and Pakistan, as well as historical sources, this
book traces the origins of the state in the 19th century,
the controversial "sale" by the British of the
predominantly Muslim valley to a Hindu Maharaja in 1846 and
the 20th century clashes between Muslim and Hindu interests
now culminating in the threat of a major war.
