Description
Kashmir: The Case for Freedom explores one of the world's most protracted and bloody occupations. Under Indian military rule, freedom of speech is non-existent, and human rights abuses are routinely visited on the Muslim-majority population. Over 70,000 people have died in the last two decades alone. The occupation has been largely ignored by its own politicians, Pakistan, and the West, which refuses to bring pressure to bear on India. This book examines the causes and consequences of the occupation, making a passionate case for the end of occupation and the right of self-determination for the Kashmiri people. A powerful call to action, Kashmir: The Case for Freedom sheds light on a conflict that has been brutally suppressed for far too long.
