Sumantra Bose is one of the world’s foremost experts on the Kashmir conflict. He is the author of seven books including Contested Lands: Israel-Palestine, Kashmir, Bosnia, Cyprus and Sri Lanka and Secular States, Religious Politics: India, Turkey, and the Future of Secularism.
“The book is an incredibly detailed, informed and comprehensive
view of the challenges facing Kashmir in 2022. . . . Those wanting
an overview of the historical background, introduction to the major
players of the conflict and up-to-date political analysis of the
Kashmir Crisis will be hard pressed to find a better place to
start.”—Maximillan Morch, Asian Review of Books
“This is a work of solid, unafraid scholarship peppered with
personal reminiscences from the author’s decades of engagement with
the area and the subject.”—Samrat Chaudhury, Hindustan Times
“An urgent scholarly intervention at this juncture of Kashmir’s
changed political existence.”—Ajit Kumar, LSE Review of Books
“With admirable clarity, Sumantra Bose’s Kashmir at the Crossroads
helps to explain the tensions and the motives of the various
parties involved in the intractable Kashmir conflict.”—Owen
Bennett-Jones, Literary Review
“Sumantra Bose is one of the world’s leading experts on Kashmir.
His brilliant new book explains how the advent of Modi and growing
Indo-Chinese tensions have transformed the Kashmir question into
potentially one of the world’s most dangerous flashpoints.”—Dominic
Lieven, author of Towards the Flame
“After years on the ground in Kashmir, Sumantra Bose has written a
passionate and fascinating account of how the present tragic
situation arose over the past 75 years. Unlike most of today’s
published accounts, it focuses mainly on the Kashmiris rather than
the other contestants. For those who want to understand Kashmir’s
“ground truth,” this is the place to start.”—Teresita Schaffer,
former U.S. diplomat
