Lawyer's Ledger

Unfolding history through rulings and records, a senior advocate finds clarity where chaos long reigned.

In Unravelling the Kashmir Knot, senior advocate Dr Aman Hingorani turns to the law to decode one of South Asia’s longest-running discords.

With the eye of a jurist and the patience of a historian, Hingorani lays out a case: that Kashmir chapter was not born of spontaneous dispute or cultural clash, but rather manufactured in the closing act of British imperialism, then compounded by miscalculations from distant capitals.

What emerges is less a polemic and more a forensic report.

Hingorani doesn't traffic in sentiment. Instead, he brings together a patchwork of court rulings, declassified records, UN debates and diplomatic notes to trace a straight line from the Partition to present-day plight. This is not just a history lesson, but a legal reckoning. And Hingorani wants the world, quite literally, to judge.
