Reseña del editor:

India’s relentless fight against cross-border terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir is well known. However, what is not so well known is the pattern of terrorist activity and the tactics of the different tanzeems or organizations, particularly during the troubled decades from 1980 to 2000.

This book is in two parts. Part One deals briefly with the origins of the Kashmir dispute and demystifies the pattern of terrorist incidents since 1989 up to the Assembly elections in 2002. It analyses arms supply, training, funding of selective militant tanzeems, and their ‘outside’ links.

Part Two is a handy reference with portraits of 31 tanzeems, their objectives, sponsors, organizational structure, leadership, areas of operations, major acts of terrorism, and fission, fusion and current status.

This timely and comprehensive book will be of great interest to both analysts and the general reader.

Reseña del editor:

Pakistan's relentless attempts to seize the state of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) from the Indian Union are well known and documented. Yet little is known about the pattern of terrorist activities and the strategies used by the different tanzeems, or organisations, especially during the troubled decades from 1980 to 2000. The book begins with a brief overview of the origins of the dispute between India and Pakistan over Jammu and Kashmir. It continues by providing details of thirtyone 'tanzeems' or organizations involved in terrorist activies in the region, their arms supply, training and funding, and also their links with organisations outside India. It concludes with an examination of the current situation in Jammu and Kashmir with the armies of India and Pakistan deployed on the Line of Control (LOC). Coming at a time when the people of Jammu and Kashmir go to the polls to decide their future, this timely book will find a wide readership, both among the lay public and academics.
