Kashmir Under 370: A Personal History by Mahendra Sabharwal is a monumental work that provides an insider’s perspective on the complex history of Jammu and Kashmir. Serving as the Former Director General of Police (DGP), Sabharwal brings a rare “boots-on-the-ground” authority to the narrative, spanning his career from the 1960s through the most turbulent decades of the region.

Published by Juggernaut in 2024, this hardcover edition is an essential read for those interested in South Asian geopolitics, internal security, and modern history. The book delves into the political maneuvers, intelligence challenges, and the personal toll of policing a state at the heart of a long-standing territorial dispute. Sabharwal offers candid reflections on the leaders who shaped Kashmir’s destiny and the eventual abrogation of Article 370.

Through vivid personal anecdotes and professional analysis, the author traces the evolution of militancy and the socio-political shifts that have defined the valley. This book is particularly relevant for Sri Lankan readers, researchers, and history buffs looking to understand the intricacies of regional governance and conflict resolution in the Indian subcontinent.
