Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The majority of accounts about the ongoing armed conflict in Jammu and Kashmir stress that the local insurgency against the Indian authorities began in 1989. Very few discuss the seeds, and even fewer the background and the context. Shadows in Paradise peels back the multiple layers of this bitter conflict: explaining the socio-economic and political shifts in the situation; the causes of the turmoil; and how the intricate political dance between the Congress and the National Conference Parties of India contributed to the unfolding crisis, and the local, Kashmiri political dynamics and internal power struggles that fuelled the fire. By going beyond the commonly cited timeline to uncover the critical developments that have shaped the turbulence, this ground-breaking work delves deep into the historical roots of the Kashmir insurgency, meticulously tracing the complex interplay of regional parties and internal conflicts within the 'Valley'. Richly illustrated with original photographs and custom-drawn colour illustrations and maps, Shadows in Paradise provides a comprehensive, in-depth study that transcends conventional narratives and illuminates the deeper historical context, while providing a detailed account of terrorism in Kashmir. As such, it is an indispensable source of references for professionals and enthusiasts alike. 34 b/w photos, 9 colour profiles, 3 colour maps Delving into the origins of Kashmir's insurgency from 1965, Shadows in Paradise dissects local political dynamics, internal power struggles, the root cause of terrorism, Indias counter response, the dispute among terrorist organizations ,the impact of the dispute and the conflict's profound impact on the region's economy and development up until 1989.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This second volume in the mini-series Shadows in Paradise offers an unparalleled deep dive into the most volatile period of the Kashmir insurgency, from its eruption in 1990 to its containment and the re-establishment of democracy by 1996. Unlike general accounts, this book provides a granular, year-by-year examination of critical events that shaped the terrorism and India's evolving response. The narrative powerfully captures the chaos of 1990-1992, detailing significant political shifts like Jagmohan's appointments and dismissals, the pivotal kidnapping of Rubaiya Sayeed, and the tragic genocide of Pandits. It dissects the external forces at play, specifically the pervasive funding by Pakistan, and the complex internal rivalries emerging among terrorist organizations. The book uniquely highlights the growing resentment against militants within the Valley and the early deployment of forces like the Rashtriya Rifles, showcasing the initial phases of India's counter-insurgency. Shadows in Paradise, Volume 2 meticulously chronicles India's success in containing the insurgency and bringing back the democratic process. Readers will gain unique insights into pivotal moments such as the police revolt of 1993, the tense Hazratbal Hostage Crisis, and the strategic reclamation of Sopore. The book delves into the crucial internal dynamics of the militant groups, including the significant split between JKLF and Hizbul Mujahedin and the assassination of Qazi Nissar. Furthermore, it details India's diplomatic triumph in Geneva, the release of key separatist leaders, the Charar-e-Sharief incident, and the eventual conduct of elections, offering a comprehensive understanding of how India systematically fought back to restore normalcy and re-establish democratic processes in Jammu and Kashmir. This is not merely a historical account; it's a testament to resilience and strategic counter-insurgency. 72 b/w photos, 3 colour photos, 12 colour figures & profiles, 4 colour maps, 2 diagrams, 1 table This volume details Kashmir's violent insurgency from 1990-1992, covering political shifts, Pakistani funding, and Pandit genocide.
