Description

YOGINDER KANDHARI'S KASHMIR INSURGENCY delivers a harrowing, meticulously researched insider's account of the 1989–90 conflict, blending firsthand military experience with official records and extensive interviews. He exposes the state's paralysis through intelligence failures, administrative collapse, and moral vacuums that precipitated the tragic mass exodus of Kashmiri Pandits—an episode he dubs "one of the most successful campaigns of ethnic cleansing in modern history". The book refuses to sensationalize, instead compelling readers to confront uncomfortable truths about institutional neglect and, as many reviewers attest, provokes deep reflection, offering a sobering call for accountability over myth. This book is available in the library. Interested officers can get it issued.
