Download or read book The Challenge in Kashmir written by Sumantra Bose and published by SAGE Publications Pvt. Limited. This book was released on 1997 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sumantra Bose locates his study on Kashmir within a comparative perspective on problems of self-determination and democratic conflict resolution that enables him to take an engaged but non-partisan view. Both this approach and the reliance on ordinary citizens and grassroots activists rather than on establishment sources, permit him to break away from the nationalist rhetorics of both India and Pakistan. He makes a strong case for an open dialogue between the contending protagonists in the framework of the right for self-determination.
