Watch the Digital trailer of the book
To unravel the Kashmir knot one must wade through a deep valley of questions armed with fresh material on the historical and political context of this perennial debate, together with novel legal analysis of the Kashmir issue.
Do the rules that created Pakistan make J&K a part of India?
Is not the routing of the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor through the territory of J&K illegal?
How did J&K become a ‘disputed territory’ in the first place?
The book explores these, and many more issues, to piece together a realistic solution to the Kashmir conundrum.
Aman bears the awesome Hingorani—Kapila and Nirmal—legacy of the great humanism permeating penology from Hussainara Khatoon onwards.… In respecting the rule of law, the book is replete with Hingorani’s impress … an excellent addition to the continuing Kashmir debate.
… will interest all sections of the society … [we] have the option to go for international adjudication … I do not see any other way out left … to deal with the occupied Kashmir problem …
… fascinating and compelling reading about the trauma and the running sore of partition of the Indian subcontinent … thoroughly researched and [has] covered every aspect of the subject so as to suggest the possible way forward. It will be interesting to see if the suggestions made are prophetic.
… extensive empirical research … fresh material ... fascinating, thought provoking and fine book …
… fresh insight from a legal, historical and practical perspective.… Hailing from a prominent family of human rights lawyers, Hingorani spares no criticism for the bungling line of leaders … their failure to find a path to peace … is ever more urgent given India’s rising struggle with China for regional dominance and Pakistan’s internal fight over the true meaning of Islam.… Hingorani’s book moves that debate in the right direction.
