How was Nehru compromised? Nehru's Himalayan Blunders: The Accession of Jammu and Kashmir documents the major errors of Nehru, diplomatic and military, which led to India losing a portion of Jammu and Kashmir to Pakistan's military occupation and to continued conflict between the two states. Justice S N Aggarwal's painstaking research uncovers gems from archival documents including Lord Mountbatten's personal diaries and documents the series of events around Jammu and Kashmir's accession, including the conflict between Jawaharlal Nehru and Sardar Patel. An enduring view into what actually happened, and Nehru's culpability, will leave you stunned.
