War at the Top of the World by Eric S. Margolis Pdf
What will the post-Taliban government of Afghanistan look like? How will the war in Afghanistan affect the already unstable politics of Central Asia? In War at the Top of the World, veteran foreign correspondent Eric Margolis presents a revelatory history of the complicated and volatile conflicts that have entangled Afghanistan, Pakistan, the United States, the Soviet Union, and many others. By 1999, Pakistan had proven they have medium-range nuclear weapons, and now the threat that their government could be taken over by a radical Islamic fundamentalist faction is stronger than ever. In fact, Osama bin Laden has already claimed to have a nuclear weapon. How could this have happened? Margolis plays witness to the escalating conflicts of the past decade, tracing disputes over Afghanistan, as well as those ever neighboring Kashmir and Tibet, back to their Cold War roots, exploring clashes that continue to threaten to destabilize the region today. Combining vivid first-hand accounts of a war correspondent with a historical and strategic overview of the region, Margolis guides the reader through the geopolitical complexities of the area and its key players. He offers a clear, concise analysis of a complicated and little-understood part of the world that is home to a quarter of the world's population. Fascinating and now more timely than ever, War at the Top of the World is an extraordinary read for anyone interested in the current global balance of power.

Islamic Shangri-La transports readers to the heart of the Himalayas as it traces the rise of the Tibetan Muslim community from the 17th century to the present. Radically altering popular interpretations that have portrayed Tibet as isolated and monolithically Buddhist, David Atwill's vibrant account demonstrates how truly cosmopolitan Tibetan society was by highlighting the hybrid influences and internal diversity of Tibet. In its exploration of the Tibetan Muslim experience, this book presents an unparalleled perspective of Tibet's standing during the rise of post–World War II Asia.
Tibet's Relations with the Himalaya by Siddiq Wahid Pdf
The Himalaya is a cornucopia and convergence of sovereign states, civilisational interaction and indigenous cultures across a stretch of two thousand miles. Its primary cultural influences haves been that of Tibetan and Indic civilisations, respectively from the north and south. Much too often this swath of mountainous and jungle frontier is seen as a territory for division between established states, without much thought to the major influences that impact the frontiers' peoples and their aspirations. The book affords a "mountain-top-view" of the Himalaya from the perspectives of its peoples rather than exclusively those who have, over the years, come to possess its territories.
Kashmir, Tibet, India-China War & Nehru by Rajnikant Puranik Pdf
It has been said that the road to hell is often paved with best intentions, and despite the probable best intentions, 'The Nehruvian Era, 1947-64' unfortunately laid the firm foundations of India's misery. The same are detailed in this two-part book. This part deals with the major foreign policy and external security issues. Chapter-1 gives an overview of the history of J&K, and details chronologically how Nehru, by arrogantly ignoring wise councils and making one blunder after another, single-handedly created the Kashmir problem that bedevils India till today. Chapter-2 details how creation of Pakistan-II was frustrated by Sardar Patel by a firm policy on the integration of the Hyderabad Princely State, despite Nehru's muddle-headedness. Chapter-3 is a sad story on how India under Nehru pusillanimously and irresponsibly created a permanent severe external security threat for India by allowing our peaceful neighbour Tibet to be erased as a nation, without even registering a protest in the international fora. Chapter-4 is the shocking story of how India drifted into an unnecessary war with China in 1962 by failing to settle the borders peacefully, despite an overlong time of a decade and a half to settle it, willingness of China to do so, and the multiple opportunities that presented themselves; and how with irresponsibly no preparation, Nehru&Co shamed India before the world in that war. Chapter-5 summarises the many foreign policy and external security failures of the Nehruvian era.
The History Of Struggle For Freedom In Kashmir by Edward Fredrick Knight Pdf
This book is different from many that have been written on Kashmir during the past sixty years since the dispute started. It is not a propagandist s book; it does not present the problem of Kashmir or suggest a solution as would cater to the predisposition and wishful thinking of any party of community. It is the voice of one who believes that the future of Kashmir, owing to its past traditions and culture, is inextricably linked with both her neighbors.I have therefore tried to present a connected history of the Freedom Movement of the People of Kashmir from the dawn of civilization to our own times. One of the aims in writing this book has been to explain the present political, economic and cultural position of Kashmir against its historical background. I have attempted to make an objective and dispassionate analysis of the accession dispute, not only in the context of the past history of the valley, but also with a special reference to the developments during the two decades preceding the partition of India. That the uncommon views expressed in this book are bound to raise controversies in the extremist circles in India as well as in Pakistan. I have little doubt. But I am equally sure that liberal and unbiased people in search of factual information and in quest of truth will find material in these pages that may help them to comprehend a problem which, if left unsolved for some more time, might endanger the peace of the 450 million people of the subcontinent, perhaps of the world.
This first-hand account of Tibetan life within a sacred society prior to the Chinese invasion is the most complete and definitive work to date on the subject of Islam in Tibet. It reveals fascinating interplay between the traditional cultures of Islam and Buddhism; the spiritual lives of these very different traditions recognize one another at a level behind external forms.
