My frozen turbulence in kashmir [hardcover][rare books]

My Frozen Turbulence in Kashmir is a highly fascinating book which analyses, in the perspective of history, the tumultuous events of the author's two terms of governorship of the most sensitive and strategic Indian State of Jammu and Kashmir. The very fact that the book has run into nine editions shows the impact it has created. The author has now updated the book to January 1, 2011. A sheer glance at the contents of the book reveals the range of issues covered. In regard to all these issues, no assertion has been made which the author has not supported by concrete evidence. With his deep insight into the fundamental issues involved, Jagmohan lays bare the roots that lie embedded in the 'soft' and 'permissive' attitude of the Indian State, in the habit of nursing - illusions instead of facing stark realities, in the politics of deception and duplicity, in administrative infirmities and public corruption, in disintegrative constitutional relationship, and in the overall dynamics of negative forces.The brutal face of terrorism and pattern of subversion is sketched vjvidly. The author describes the confusion and contradictions of the Indian political scene and also subjects the webs of distortions, woven by superficial minds or vested interests, to a searching cat-scan. He forcefully argues that the critical challenge in Kashmir can be met only by a reformed and rejuvenated India, with a new vision and a practical insight into ground-level realities. The eighth edition updated the book to 2007. All significant events that have occurred thereafter (upto January 1,2011) have been discussed, in their proper context, in this Ninth Edition. The forceful personality-of Jagmohan - a man of vigorous action and profundity of thought - is deeply imprinted on every page of this unique book. The book has been translated/published in Hindi, Urdu, Marathi, Malayalam, Telugu, Kannada, Bengali, Gujarati, Punjabi and Assamese.
