About the Book: A Strategic Myth: Underdevelopment in Jammu Kashimir
Jammu and Kashmir has been different things to different people throughout the
twentieth century and well into the twenty-first. This book challenges commonly
held misconceptions about the region and brings to light its achievements during
the state-led developmental process of Jammu and Kashmir from 1948 to 1988, thus
bridging a gap in scholarship concerning this process in the region and the
relationship between its political history and social development.
