About the Book
Why Article 370 Had To Go delves deep into Kashmir’s onion layered conflict and discerns the most complicated political realities—a clear break from the existing literature on Kashmir. The book presents strong arguments in favor of the abrogation of Article 370. Jehangir records that Kashmir’s aspirational youth is fed up of terrorism that has destroyed tourism, economy and the social fabric of Kashmir’s society. He stresses that religious militancy is not what Kashmir is all about. He reiterates that Kashmiris have always practiced the Islam of Sufis which is about syncretism. It is Khalid’s quest for a secular democratic Kashmir that has brought forth this book that profiles through a personal journey, a larger political perspective.
