The Book

‘Kashmir problem’ is a symptom of the great tragedy of partition of India, particularly for the Muslim community. The book tells the TRUTH of the drama of accession of Kashmir to India and the story of three heroes who recount Jinnah's view about the tribal invasion of Kashmir organized by Liaqat Ali, the then Prime Minister of Pakistan. The folly, obviously, was a major one which made him say that "Pakistan was the greatest blunder of my life" Prithi Chand, MVC, with a band of 15 Buddhist soldiers of 2nd Dogra crossed the Himalayas in mid winter to reach Leh. He would not have succeeded if Sher Jang Thapa MVC had not held Skardu under siege for six months and three days. Ladakh would have yet fallen but for the incredible heroism of a school boy Guerilla Leader, Chhewang Rinchen, double MVC, who blocked the back door to Leh via the Nubra valley. This book is their story.
