A detailed historical and analytical study of the long-running conflict in Jammu and Kashmir, arguing that the armed jihadist violence which escalated after 1990 was not a sudden break but the continuation of a covert war stretching back to 1947. Drawing on archival material, classified intelligence sources, and extensive research, Praveen Swami traces the evolution of militant groups, state involvement, and regional policy dynamics, examining how India-Pakistan rivalry, ideological shifts, and covert operations shaped the protracted insurgency and its impact on South Asian security.
