The genesis of the present day crisis in Kashmir has to be traced in 1953 when Shaikh Mohammad Abdullah was dismissed as Premier of J&K State and detained. This was followed by a number of incidents of far reaching importance in 1958; the Shaikh was released but detained again after about a period of three months and prosecuted under Kashmir Conspiracy Case. The case, was, however withdrawn in 1964. But the Shaikh was again arrested in 1065 after his reported meeting with the Chinese Premier, Chou-en-Lal; and detained for three years. In 1971, ban was imposed on him to enter into the State territory, which was lifted in 1972. In 1975, Shaikh-Indira Accord was signed by which he joined the national mainstream after a lapse of 22 years. During 1953-1975, Shaikh Mohammad Abdullah labeled India as an expansionist and colonial power trying to subjugate Kashmir. He considered the accession of Kashmir with India as his greatest blunder and demanded the right of self-
 determination for the people of Kashmir. He also advocated to settle the Kashmir issue by a free and fair plebiscite, and unconditional withdrawal of the Indian troops.
These ideas of the Shaikh found their way direct to the hearts of people of Kashmir, because they were not taken into confidence in 1947 when the accession with India was managed. When the Shaikh switched over to the Indian nationalism in 2975, the people of Kashmir were left in dilemma. The present crisis in the Valley is only a manifestation of the inner aspirations of the youth of Kashmir brought up during the period, 1953-1975. Kashmir Politics can be termed as an authentic document because the author himself took some interest in the politics of J&K State during his studentship and made a critical study of the developments going on around him. |
