Jagmohan - My Frozen Turbulence in Kashmir

Frozen Turbulence in Kashmir is a highly fascinating book which analyses, in perspective of history the tumultuous its of the authors two terms of governorship of the most sensitive and strategic Indian State of Jammu & Kashmir.

A sheer glance at the contents of the book reveals the range of issues covered. In regard to all these issues, no assertion has been made, which the author has not supported by concrete evidence. He has convincingly demonstrated how his warning signals about the gathering storm were ignored and how disastrous were the consequences of the same.

With his deep insight into the fundamental issues involved, Jagmohan lays bare the roots that lie embedded in the soft and permissive attitude of the Indian - State, in the habit of nursing illusions instead of facing stark realities, in the politics of deception and duplicity, in administrative infirmities and public corruption, in disintegrative constitutional relationship, and in the overall dynamics of negative forces. The brutal face of terrorism and pattern of subversion are sketched vividly.

The author describes the confusion and contradictions of the Indian political scene, and also subjects the webs of distortions, ^weaved by superficial minds or vested interests, to a searching cat-scan. He forcefully argues that the problems are extremely complex, chronic and rooted in the (Contd. on

My Frozen Turbulence in Kashmir, the Twelfth Edition of which is now being released, is a land-mark publication. It narrates and analyses not only the tumultuous events of the authors two terms of Governorship but also of subsequent developments which underline how a tragic blunder of truly historic proportion was committed by the power that be at the Union Government level by not seeing the warning signals hoisted by him.

After four reprints of the First Edition, it became a practice with the author that whenever the current Edition went out of print, the next Edition was not only reprinted but also enlarged and updated with the addition of a new Chapter. So far, eleven Editions have been reprinted, updated and sold out.

In the Eleventh Edition, which appeared in July 2014, soon after Narendra Modi Government assumed office on May 26, 2014, the author had reflected upon the much needed expectations for inward and outward changes. In thisTwelfth Editionhe has, in the new ChapterXXVtitled: Onward To A New Resolve, examined in what direction these expectations have moved, and how the harsh and cruel realities on the ground have been encountered during the eventful period of 33 months of the new regime, from May 26, 2014 to February 28, 2017.

Further, in the background of Indias 70 years of nightmarish Kashmir experience, the author has assessed whether the developments of the aforementioned period hold out a promise of finding a new helmsman who could steer the boat of Indias destiny through stormy sea and turbulent winds and bring it safely to a calm and clean shore, from where a new journey, with a new mind and motivation, could begin.

The updated Edition shows how the PDP-BJP coalition government has been functioning, how the combined onslaught of subversive, separatists and pro-Pakistan elements was faced, particularly in the wake of Burhan Wanis death. It also shows how the outrageous perfidies of the genre of Uri terror attack were dealt with by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and how a New Resolve was formulated by him with seven ingredients, viz: (I) Exposure of Pakistan at UN Assembly; (II) Boycott of 19th SAARC Summit; (III) Revisiting Indus Water Treaty and Most Favoured Nation Status; (IV) Surgical Strike; (V) Baring the Ugly Face of Pakistani Bred Terrorism At the Multilateral Forum of BRICS; (VI) Deeper Exposure of Pakistan at HEART of Asia-Afghanistan Conference; (VII) Highlighting the Continued Violations of Human Rights in Balochistan and PoK, and Countering Pakistans Diabolical Disinformation Campaign with Regard to Kashmir.

The Edition, then, goes on to indicate how the above ingredients were actualized on the ground by Narendra Modi, how all these brought to surface the ingrained traits of his leadership and made him assume the role of a new helmsman which could propel the boat of Indias destiny towards a safe, secure and scintillating shore, despite the irresponsible behaviour of a sizeable section of the passengers on the boat.

Finally, the Edition assesses the promise, performance and potential of the new helmsman. It ends with the hope of emergence of a new pattern which is appeasement-free, terror-free, and in which the noblest strands and sinews of Indias cultural heritage of treating service to man as service to God are regenerated, from Kashmir to Kanyakumari, providing an illuminating avenue for reaching the goal of a mighty, enlightened and forward-looking India.
