War and Diplomacy in Kashmir,1947-48

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.    A study of British policy in Kashmir must begin with an examination of the strategic interests of Britain in the subcontinent. The book explains the diplomatic background to the military developments of the time, tracing the evolution of British policy on Kashmir and its orchestration of the moves of western powers in the Security Council. The book provides details from the British archives about the secret understandings between Commanders-in-Chief of the rival armies to contain the conflict. It reveals, for instance, that India's Commander-in-Chief, General Bucher, had tried as early as March 1948 to negotiate an informal truce with his counterpart in Pakistan, without the knowledge of the Indian government. A revealing study about a controversial incident in India's military history, this is a timely book, especially in the post-Agra Summit period.    This book analyses:    The Evolution of British policy towards Kashmir    The role played by the western powers in the Security council    The secret attempt made by General Bucher to negotiate an informal truce with his counterpart in Pakistan    How Mountbatten used and abused his authority to ensure that the Kashmir issue did not escalate into a full-scale inter-domain war.

In this highly personal work, Boulding traces his lifelong search for human betterment. Believing that human betterment required certain economic changes, he studied economics as an undergraduate at Oxford. A careful examination of the American labour movement, however, convinced him that ′economics alone could not solve the problems of human betterment.′ Boulding′s later involvement in the study of conflict resolution and the analysis of world culture eventually led him to evolutionary theory, which has occupied much of his time and energy since the late 1960s.
