This book highlights the struggle for freedom from the oppressive Dogra raj in Jammu and Kashmir. The accession of Jammu and Kashmir to India has been under consideration ever since Independence and has been discussed at numerous political or academic forums and in books on Kashmir or Partition, but no comprehensive picture of accession   has yet emerged out of these discussions. To arrive at a right conclusion it is equally necessary that the march of events is narrated In proper perspective and logical sequence. But books on Kashmir’s accession have dealt with the subject haphazardly or at best relied on a deductive method to reach a conclusion, so that one has only oblique view of the factors leading to it.
