$36.25
Nehru’s Himalayan Blunders: The Accession of Jammu & Kashmir” by Justice S. N. Aggarwal critically examines the decisions and actions of Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru during the accession of Jammu and Kashmir to India. The book argues that Nehru’s diplomatic and military missteps, influenced by his trust in Sheikh Abdullah and guidance from Lord Mountbatten, led to the loss of a portion of the region to Pakistan and ongoing conflicts. Through detailed analysis of historical documents and correspondences, Aggarwal highlights 16 major blunders, contrasting Nehru’s approach with Sardar Patel’s successful integration of other princely states. The author contends that these errors have had lasting repercussions on India’s territorial integrity and internal security.

About The Author
Justice S. N. Aggarwal joined the Punjab Judicial Service in 1972, serving in various capacities across Punjab. Selected by the UPSC, he also served as Law Secretary in the Andaman & Nicobar Administration at Port Blair. He was elevated as a Judge of the Punjab and Haryana High Court in 2004. Coming from a family of freedom fighters, Aggarwal was inspired to document the sacrifices of revolutionary patriots in his book "The Heroes of Cellular Jail," which was adopted by NCERT in a concise form for senior secondary students. Deeply moved by the sacrifices of Indian soldiers, he has dedicated the royalties from "Nehru's Himalayan Blunders" to the Army Welfare Fund Battle Casualties.
