Af: Christopher Snedden Engelsk Paperback
Tjek vores konkurrenters priser
In 1846, the British created the state of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) - popularly called ''Kashmir'' - and then quickly sold this prized region to the wily and powerful Raja, Gulab Singh. Intriguingly, had they retained it, the India-Pakistan dispute over possession of the state may never have arisen, but Britain''s concerns lay elsewhere - - expansionist Russia, beguiling Tibet and unstable China ''circling'' J&K - - and their agents played the ''Great Game'' in Afghanistan and ''Turkistan''. Snedden contextualises the geo-strategic and historical circumstances surrounding the British decision to relinquish prestigious ''Kashmir'', and explains how they and four Dogra maharajas consolidated and controlled J&K subsequently. He details what comprised this diverse princely state with distant borders and disunified peoples and explains the Maharaja of J&K''s controversial accession to India on 26 October 1947 - and its unintended consequences. Snedden weaves a compelling narrative that frames the Kashmir dispute, explains why it continues, and assesses what it means politically and administratively for the divided peoples of J&K and their undecided futures
