About the Book

This second volume in the mini-series Shadows in Paradise offers an unparalleled deep dive into the most volatile period of the Kashmir insurgency, from its eruption in 1990 to its containment and the re-establishment of democracy by 1996. Unlike general accounts, this book provides a granular, year-by-year examination of critical events that shaped the terrorism and India's evolving response. The narrative powerfully captures the chaos of 1990-1992, detailing significant political shifts like Jagmohan's appointments and dismissals, the pivotal kidnapping of Rubaiya Sayeed, and the tragic genocide of Pandits. It dissects the external forces at play, specifically the pervasive funding by Pakistan, and the complex internal rivalries emerging among terrorist organizations. The book uniquely highlights the growing resentment against militants within the Valley and the early deployment of forces like the Rashtriya Rifles, showcasing the initial phases of India's counter-insurgency. Shadows in Paradise, Volume 2 meticulously chronicles India's success in containing the insurgency and bringing back the democratic process. Readers will gain unique insights into pivotal moments such as the police revolt of 1993, the tense Hazratbal Hostage Crisis, and the strategic reclamation of Sopore. The book delves into the crucial internal dynamics of the militant groups, including the significant split between JKLF and Hizbul Mujahedin and the assassination of Qazi Nissar. Furthermore, it details India's diplomatic triumph in Geneva, the release of key separatist leaders, the Charar-e-Sharief incident, and the eventual conduct of elections, offering a comprehensive understanding of how India systematically fought back to restore normalcy and re-establish democratic processes in Jammu and Kashmir. This is not merely a historical account; it's a testament to resilience and strategic counter-insurgency. 21 colour profiles, 1 colour map, 5 b/w maps, 6 figures
