Lahore Declaration and its undoing with the Kargil operation; the morphing of insurgency into an Islamist jihad against India; India's attempts to parley with separatist groups; and the progress made towards a Kashmir solution via peace talks by various Indian and Pakistani governments between 2002 and 2007. Kumar's descriptions of the contemporary situationthe impact of 9/11 and the war on terrorism; the Afghan war and the Mumbai attacks which created pressure on Pakistan to take action against radical Islamists; the blowback in Pakistan resulting in the growing radicalization of Pakistani institutions such as the judiciary and its spillover in Kashmir; the Indian government's failure to move Kashmir into a peacebuilding phase; the trouble with AFSPA; the anti-India feelings that were triggered by counter-insurgency responses in 2010, the contentious coalition of 2014 and the killing of suspected terrorist Burhan Wani in 2016underline the tragedies which ensue when conditions, timing and strategy are mismatched. Drawing on her experience as a government interlocutor, Kumar chastises the Indian government for never failing 'to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory when it comes to the state's political grievances'. Equally, she shows how Pakistan's Kashmir policy has been 'an unmitigated disaster'. While arguing that India can do a great deal to reduce violence and encourage reconciliation within the former princely state, she concludes that if Kashmir is ever to move towards lasting peace and stability, the major stakeholders as well as regional and international actors will need to work together on the few feasible options that remain. Timely and authoritative, the book cuts through the rhetoric that cloaks Kashmir to give the reader a balanced, lucid and deeply empathetic view of the state, its politics and its people.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. 'A political scientist on Kashmir once said to me: "You cannot discuss Kashmir, or the Kashmir conflict, without starting with history."' In this way begins Radha Kumar's political history of Kashmir, a book that attempts to give the reader a definitive yet accessible study of perhaps the most troubled part of India. Beginning with references to Kashmir as 'a sacred geography' in the Puranas, Kumar's account moves forward in time through every major development in the region's history. It grapples with the seemingly intractable issues that have turned the state into a battleground and tries to come up with solutions that are realistic and lasting. Situating the conflict in the troubled geopolitics of Kashmir's neighbourhood, Kumar unpicks the gnarled tangle of causes that have led to the present troubles in the region, from wars and conquest to Empire and the growth of nationalism; the troubled accession of the state to India by Maharaja Hari Singh amidst partition; Pakistani attacks and the rise of the Cold War; the politics of the various parts of the former princely state including Jammu and Kashmir, and the areas administered by Pakistan; the wars that followed and the attempts that Indian, Pakistani and Kashmiri leaders, starting with Sheikh Abdullah and Jawaharlal Nehru, made to find peaceful solutions, including taking the Kashmir issue to the UN, which had unintended consequences for India; the demand for plebiscite; the Simla Agreement, turning the ceasefire line into the Line of Control; communal riots in the 1980s and the growth of insurgency; increase in security forces in the state in the 1990s leading to public resentment; and the guerrilla occupation of Hazratbal, the fifteenth-century mosque. Showing that a changed Post-Cold War milieu offered new opportunities for peacemaking that were restricted by domestic stresses in Pakistan, Kumar analyses the Lahore Declaration and its undoing with the Kargil operation; the morphing of insurgency into an Islamist jihad against India; India's attempts to parley with separatist groups; and the progress made towards a Kashmir solution via peace talks by various Indian and Pakistani governments between 2002 and 2007. Kumar's descriptions of the contemporary situation-the impact of 9/11 and the war on terrorism; the Afghan war and the Mumbai attacks which created pressure on Pakistan to take action against radical Islamists; the blowback in Pakistan resulting in the growing radicalization of Pakistani institutions such as the judiciary and its spillover in Kashmir; the Indian government's failure to move Kashmir into a peace building phase; the trouble with AFSPA; the anti-India feelings that were triggered by counter-insurgency responses in 2010, the contentious coalition of 2014 and the killing of suspected terrorist Burhan Wani in 2016underline the tragedies which ensue when conditions, timing and strategy are mismatched.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Despite the clear danger of the rise of totalitarianism in India today, this book's aim is to look forward to the moment when democracy will be renewed in the country and ask what lessons can be learnt from past experience to anchor it more firmly when the opportunity arises. It is generally assumed that Indian democracy has had an unbroken run since Independence, with the brief disruption of the 197577 Emergency. While those two years saw a stark assault on democratic institutions, Indian democracy had been repeatedly punctured prior to the Emergency, and it has been threatened many times since. The country underwent almost four decades of democracy decay after the founding years of the republic, as compared to the three relatively short-lived waves of democracy renewal. That fact makes an examination of these three waves rather significant.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. 1st Edition. Questions like what to teach, how to teach and whom to teach have been central to debates on education in India. Colonialism has left several facts and questions open, which can be interpreted in multiple ways.Knowledge is essentially a contested term, as much as education itself is a contested terrain. Education is an important constituent dimension of knowledge society as it empowers people with requisite skills and knowledge to access productive employment. The transition from the pre-colonial, local systems to a colonial education system was, however, a multi-dimensional process, with many actors playing active roles in it. The pace of knowledge diffusion has increased particularly over the last century, but the education system in India even today is basically a legacy of the two centuries of colonial rule, with still limited and uneven access to knowledge. The collection of essays in this volume tries to address some of the issues and developments in the making of an inclusive knowledge society in colonial India, and the transmission of knowledge through agents and institutions of education in modern India from a historical perspective. The volume traces the growth of knowledge in India in modern times and its conflict with the existing societal and religious expectations, as also of the conflict between individual and institutional ideas. It has also attempted to address the issue of social exclusion be it sectional, regional or gender oriented. Despite apparent diversity and exclusivity of the themes they are interwoven and reflect an overarching interest in broader issues, with the primary focus being on growth of a new system of education in modern India.
