This Book contains a series of articles giving the author's first hand account of momentous events in the early years of our Independence. This includes the Partition holocaust in which millions got killed and millions got uprooted as also the author's interaction with some of the top leaders who shaped the destiny of the Nation. He has provided a deep Insight into the Kashmir problem. Based on his experience of service to the nation for nearly three quarters of a century in various capacities as an Army officer for forty years, as Ambassador for one year, and as Governor of Assam and of Jammu and Kashmir for eleven years," in the two most sensitive states in the country, he has given suggestions for dealing with the several serious security problems facing us. This book is A Good source of reference for present and future generations. "The artist views shadowing like the merging of tree, hazarding if it can subsume the body. Colouring of the dust cover lacquers and violently shakes the wide sweep of book through its 216 pages." About The Author:- Lt. Gen. S.K. Sinha, PVSM, was born in January 1926 and soon after graduating from Patna University in 1943, joined the Army. He saw combat service in Burma, Indonesia and Kashmir, Nagaland and Manipur. He held all levels of active command from a platoon to a field army. He also held key staff and instructional appointments. He received the highest military award for distinguished service. He resigned as Vice Chief of Army Staff in 1983 following his surprise supersession for Army Chief. This rocked the Parliament and led to much controversy in the media. Stephen Cohen, the noted US expert on South Asia referred to him as one of India's most outstanding Generals since Independence. He was appointed India's Ambassador to Nepal in 1990 when Indo-Nepal relations had hit their nadir. He restored them to the highest level of cordiality and helped in restoration of democracy in Nepal. The Prime Minister of Nepal wrote, "General Sinha was as much India's Ambassador to Nepal as Nepal's Ambassador to India." In 1997 he was appointed Governor of Assam when insurgency was at its peak. During his tenure ULFA insurgency was wiped out and a mind change brought about among the people. He was popularly called "a true son of the soil of Assam". In 2003 he was appointed Governor of Jammu and Kashmir. During his five year tenure, near normalcy was restored in the State with the average rate of daily killing coming down from 10 to I. His effort to promote Kashmiriyat, amity across religious divide, was much appreciated. Dr Abdul Kalam highly commended it. Contents:- Introduction Part I : OLD MEMORIES : , 1. When Bapu Died , 2.

ABOUT THE BOOK:- :- Good governance and Coalition Politics” is a tale of two coalition governments of Jammu and Kashmir -(PDP-Congress(2002-2008) and NC-Congress (2008-2014)- prefaced by concept and contours of Good Governance in historical and philosophical contexts. The focus was on dynamic changes in the philosophy, structure, functions and goals of governance and the triangular relationship among state, society, and citizen that evolved during the last two centauries or so. The policy frame, processes and motivation informing the decision making on important issues were subjected to similar treatment. The book laid bare contradictions between the classical model of cabinet system rooted in the principle of “joint responsibility” and supremacy of the Chief minister and its actual practice under what had come to be known as “coalition compulsions”. The political immorality and massive corruption in public life that it spawned demanded public debate for urgent and comprehensive system correctives. ABOUT THE AUTHOR:- :- M.M. Khajooria, a product of National Police Academy, retired as Director General of Jammu & Kashmir Police. An administrator with wide and varied experience he was the first IPS officer to be appointed as Commissioner of a Division and State Relief & Rehabilitation Commissioner. He also served as Director General Transport and head of the J&K Prison Department. Since retirement from Indian Police Service, he remained involved in social and intellectual activities. He is a columnist of repute, a recognised security analyst, an eminent seminarian and distinguished Media person. He has done extensive study on various dimensions of governance and similarly treated politico-strategic developments in Jammu & Kashmir, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Central Asia. Human resource development, organizational restructuring, and Good governance are some of the subjects closet to his heart.
