One of the many remarkable things about Sumantra Bose's book is
that it demonstrates that the common 'solutions' offered on Kashmir
are actually dangerous.--Sauvik Chakraverti"New York Sun"
(09/02/2003)
Sumantra Bose's refreshingly readable, authoritative, and
fair-minded account of the dispute goes far to illuminate both the
reasons for its intractability and the requirements for its
resolution.--Robert C. Wirsing"International History Review"
(12/01/2004)
The conflict over Kashmir remains one of the most intractable and
explosive disputes of the postcolonial era and the subject of
numerous books. Bose has added a clearly focused, concise, and
well-written study to this list and provides an innovative set of
proposals designed to settle the dispute.--S. A. Kochanek"Choice"
(04/01/2004)
Though Bose summarizes how Kashmir became a bone of contention in
the blood-wracking partition of British India in 1947-48, he
restrains himself from adjudicating the grievances in favor of
exploring an exit from the impasse. His basic idea, as in Northern
Ireland, is to put into abeyance the parties' most radical demands
in the hope they will ameliorate under the influence of newly
created negotiating institutions. Knowledgeable about Kashmir's
religio-ethnic complexities, Bose can be profitably consulted by
serious students of the conflict.--Gilbert Taylor"Booklist"
(09/01/2003)
[In] an intelligent, thoughtful and accessible discussion of the
conflict in Kashmir, Sumantra Bose examines how the conflict became
a grave threat to South Asia and explains the roots of the conflict
and seeks to proffer a solution for peace in the region.
