Questions : Who is the author of the book “War and Diplomacy in Kashmir”?

(a) Sir Owen Dixon

(b) Kuldeep Nayar

(c) G. Parthasarathy

(d) C. Dasgupta

The correct answers to the above question in:

Answer: (d)

Based on declassified documents, the book throws new light on the roles played by Mountbatten and the British service chiefs in the Kashmir war of 1947-48 and explains why India took the Kashmir issue to the UN, why it did not carry the war into Pakistan and why it accepted a ceasefire.

Examining archival material that has not been looked at previously and attempting an important reassessment of Mountbatten’s role, the book highlights the fact that India’s first Governor-General was not a mere constitutional figurehead.

The book shows that he used and abused this authority to ensure that the conflict in Kashmir did not escalate into a full-scale inter-dominion war.
