Kashmir and Beyond 1966–84 brings together more than three hundred letters from the correspondence between Indira Gandhi and Karan Singh. It provides an exclusive insight into such historic events as the signing of the Tashkent Declaration, the Emergency, and Operation Bluestar. And even as these letters map the important landmarks of recent Indian history, they also provide a fascinating glimpse of the inner workings of the government, and the magnitude of the effort of running a country which houses 'one-seventh of the human race'.
