Jammu and Kashmir Behind The Curtain, Beneath The Noise An Autobiography
Jammu and Kashmir Behind The Curtain, Beneath The Noise An Autobiography
The book—apart from dealing with the author's journey from Kashmir Ceramics Kathua to Jammu University—throws light on the author's role in the 1998 Jammu revolt, which brought the Farooq Abdullah Government to Jammu's knees. The book also deals with the author's association with the BJP and the RSS and the nature of relations with them, his role in the political developments and the circumstances leading to the Amarnath Land Movement, which led to the collapse of the Ghulam Nabi Azad Government in July 2008. The book, in addition, deals with very crucial discussions which took place from time to time between the author and some very senior Central Government officials on the issues of Assembly elections in J&K in 1996, pre-1953 politico-constitutional status, the Gujjar-Pahari controversy and the outcome. Besides, it throws light on the author's role, which helped the daughters of J&K obtain full citizenship rights in 2005 and Jammu get Shri Mata Vaishno Devi University and Agriculture University in 2008, the Central University of Jammu in 2010-11 and AIIMS in 2015. In addition, the book deals with the nature of discussions which took place between the author and an American think-tank, the British High Commissioner and the EU delegation on J&K and what transpired during the track-II type conferences on J&K held at the House of Commons, Hotel Rembrandt, Guild Hall and Kensington, and national and international conferences on J&K at the India International Centre, JNU and SKICC, Srinagar. The book also deals with the author's role in the Round Table Conferences on J&K's political future and what Kashmiri leaders like Farooq Abdullah did when the author exposed the fake secularists in the establishment at 7-Race Course, the PM's official residence.
