Harbans Singh's "A Modern History of Jammu and Kashmir, Volume One: The Troubled Years of Maharaja Hari Singh (1925-1949)" seeks to rehabilitate the image of Kashmir's last Dogra ruler but falls short as an objective historical account. The book defends Hari Singh while attacking critics like Sheikh Abdullah, promoting a selective narrative that distorts historical truths and reveals the author's biases. It downplays oppression under Hari Singh, blames external forces, and presents a hagiography rather than a scholarly examination of history.
