Kashmir has been in the news from last couple of months and the Government has abolished article 370 and Article 35A. At the same time the state has been split into two union territories.
All these actions of the government have been followed up by a massive propaganda that the Kashmir problem has been the doing of Pundit Jawaharlal Nehru, had Sardar Patel been dealing with the issue, the problem would not have been there. False claims are being made that Babasaheb Ambedkar was against Article 370. A video film has been released by BJP to propagate these falsehoods at broad level.
This compilation is an attempt to put forward the documented History, the events which led to accession of Kashmir with India and the rise of militancy there off, why the Constituent Assembly drafted Article 370 as the part of Indian Constitution. The basic similarities in the approach of Nehru and Patel on the issue of Kashmir are brought out. Also how Babasaheb opined on division of Kashmir into Indian and Pakistani part is also outlined.

Babri Masjid, 25 Years On…
ABOUT THE BOOK:
The date 6 December, 2017 marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the demolition of Babri Masjid in Ayodhya—when a violent mob attacked and brought down the medieval structure. The event dramatically altered the socio-political trajectory of India; through the violence that unleashed across the country and the irreparable chasm created between communities. For many, it defined their social and political commitments as well as future professional and creative pathways.
The present volume is a collection of intensely personal, reflective, and even emotional memories of a few who witnessed the event and lived through the painful times that followed. Journalists, activists and artists go down the memory lanes in this anthology, offering us glimpses of the violence, despair, hope and resistance they experienced. Through the well-remembered personal accounts, this compilation brings individual truth-telling on par with analysis.
With fifteen unique essays containing personal anecdotes that are supplemented by relevant contextual information, this commemorative book presents the reader with the reality that may be forgotten or that which seems unfamiliar, along with the truths that have gone unacknowledged.
