Under an Indian military rule that, at half a million strong, exceeds the total number of US forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, freedom of speech is non-existent, and human- rights abuses and atrocities are routinely visited on its Muslim-majority population. In the last two decades alone, over seventy thousand people have died. Ignored by its own corrupt politicians, abandoned by Pakistan and the West, which refuses to bring pressure to bear on its regional ally, India, the Kashmiri people's ongoing quest for justice and self- determination continues to be brutally suppressed. Exploring the causes and consequences of the occupation, \u003ci\u003eKashmir: The Case for Freedom\u003c\/i\u003e is a passionate call for the end of occupation, and for the right of self- determination for the Kashmiri people.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eArundhati Roy\u003c\/b\u003e's books include, most recently, \u003ci\u003eListening to Grasshoppers\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePankaj Mishra\u003c\/b\u003e's new book, \u003ci\u003eThe Revolt Against the West\u003c\/i\u003e, is coming out in 2011. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eHilal Bhatt\u003c\/b\u003e was born in Srinigar and is a freelance Kashmiri journalist. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAngana P.
