Summary
"What Happened to Governance in Kashmir? examines the policies, strategies, and tactics followed by the Indian state and the 'client' governments in Srinagar to manage the conflicted state of Jammu and Kashmir during 1948-89. It shows how the policies deployed to 'create order in disorder' functioned inversely and turned Kashmir into a smoldering volcano which erupted in 1989-90. The author argues that as the issue of dispute and policy framework has been constant, the clash between the status quoist state and the society was inevitable. The crisis deepened along with technological, economic, cultural, and social changes. Based on a variety of contemporary sources, this book deals with many aspects of Kashmir's governance through different political phases. It shows how the personal proclivities and decisions of each prime minister/chief minister played a role in determining the pattern of rule and the course of history with consequences felt many miles downstream"--Back cover.
