For a blow by blow account of the events leading to the tribal invasion, refer to the book "Kashmir in conflict: India, Pakistan and the unending war By Victoria Schofield". One very interesting thing to be noted at the outset is the presence of tribal infiltration and armed revolts even before...

The so-called tribal forces ( a misnomer under the Pakistani Army cloak led by Akbar Khan of the Rawalpindi conspiracy fame) lost their morality of fighting the Dogra forces, when they started the "Rape of Mirpur" which you can read in gory detail (Mirpur Massacre). The tribes savagely killed...

Shabbir Choudhry is amongst the few sane voices in Kashmir ; In fact he is amongst the few bulwarks in Kashmir against Pakistan, India and China to vie for an Independent Kashmir. He is fiercely opposed to Hurriyat's groveling for Pakistani-intervention in Kashmir and JKLF's myopic, distorted...
