'Aman bears the awesome Hingorani - Kapila and Nirmal - legacy of championship of humanism permeating penology from Hussainara Khatoon onwards. In the present work, Aman offers a fresh breeze on an issue which has become banal by reason of stereotyped speculation. Those who cherish values of human dignity and peace will find Aman’s ideas refreshing.' Justice M.N. Venkatachaliah, Former Chief Justice of India, Former Chairman of the National Human Rights Commission and of the National Commission to Review the Working of the Constitution

'Fascinating and compelling reading about the trauma and the running sore of partition of the Indian subcontinent … has thoroughly researched and covered every aspect of the subject so as to suggest the possible way forward. It will be interesting to see if the suggestions made are prophetic.' Justice Ruma Pal, Former Judge, Supreme Court of India

'In 'Unravelling the Kashmir Knot’, Aman fearlessly navigates the intricate layers of the Kashmir issue, shedding light on its historical origins, political complexities, and human toll. With a keen sense of inquiry and a commitment to uncovering truth amidst a sea of narratives, this book serves as a beacon of clarity in the often murky waters of the geopolitical discourse. Through meticulous research and thought-provoking analysis, the author challenges entrenched perspectives and offers a path toward understanding and, ultimately, resolution. This compelling work is a must read.' Justice A.K. Sikri, Former Judge, Supreme Court of India

'Meticulously researched and passionately written book … should be required reading for all practitioners and students of international relations.' Ambassador Asoke Mukerji, Former Permanent Representative of India to the United Nations

'The research that has gone into the writing of ‘Unravelling the Kashmir Knot’ is exceptional. A panoramic picture has been painted of Kashmir and the issues facing the State from the date of accession to India by Maharaja Hari Singh. Aman Hingorani did not rest by merely pointing out the problems facing India, but has also suggested a solution – the ICJ. Will the Government of India be prepared to adopt this suggestion?' K.K. Venugopal, Former Attorney General of India

'Aman Hingorani wields a legal scalpel to cut through the several competing narratives on Kashmir and spotlights a credible route to its resolution aligned with India’s interests. It deserves wide attention.' Shyam Saran, Former Foreign Secretary, Government of India and Chairman, National Security Advisory Board, India

'This bold book suggests that, given the irrevocable, lawful and final accession of J&K to India, it is both essential and possible for India to take the matter to the ICJ to expose the illegality of the occupation by Pakistan and China of what is Indian territory. The author explains how international law is firmly on India’s side, and that the only rational choice before the ICJ would be to uphold India’s case and set aside, once and for all, claims by Pakistan to J&K. This is an interesting perspective through a lawyer’s lens and one which should provoke a debate on the subject. The author anticipates the likely questions and doubts that may be raised, which makes the book even more appealing.' Pankaj Saran, Convenor, N
