"With his profound expertise in and concern for Kashmir, Christopher Snedden succeeds splendidly in his task of giving voice to an untold story. This is the most authoritative modern history of one of South Asia's most sensitive yet overlooked regions, the part of Kashmir under Pakistan's control. It is meticulously researched and clearly written, and the account of the origins of the Kashmir conflict, while certainly controversial, demands attention."--Andrew Whitehead, former BBC South Asia correspondent and the author of A Mission in Kashmir "This book is empirically rich and employs an analytical approach. It is comprehensive in its description of events and outcomes ... Christopher Snedden certainly brings out the untold story of a people who have thus far received very little scholarly attention."

Synopsis
This book offers a new interpretation of the contested territory of Azad Kashmir bordering Pakistan and India. It considers the broader Kashmiri dispute and possible solutions to the stalemate., Azad (Free) Jammu and Kashmir (J&K)) is that part of Kashmir within Pakistan, separated by a Line of Control from Indian territory. This book is a rarity: it offers a fresh interpretive history of the largely forgotten four million people of Azad Kashmir. The author contends that in October 1947, pro-Pakistan Muslims in south-western J&K instigated the Kashmir dispute-not Pashtun tribesmen invading from Pakistan, as India has consistently claimed. Later called Azad Kashmiris, these people, Snedden argues, are legitimate stakeholders in an unresolved dispute. He provides comprehensive new information that critically examines Azad Kashmir's administration, economy, political system, and its subordinate relationship with Pakistan. Azad Kashmiris considered their administration to be the only legitimate government in J&K and expected that it would rule after J&K was re-unified by a UN-supervised plebiscite. This poll has never been conducted and Azad Kashmir has effectively, if not yet legally, become a (dependent) part of Pakistan. Long disenchanted with Islamabad, some Azad Kashmiris now favour independence for J&K, hoping that they may survive and prosper without recourse to either of their bigger neighbours. Snedden concludes his book by assessing the various proposals to resolve Azad Kashmir's international status and the broader Kashmir dispute., Azad (Free) Jammu and Kashmir (JandK)) is that part of Kashmir within Pakistan, separated by a Line of Control from Indian territory.
