The letters to the Sardar from Jawaharlal Nehru, Mountbatten, Maha¬ raja Hari Singh and Sheikh Abdullah, and his replies to them also reveal the clash of personalities and conflict of ideals on Jammu and Kashmir, which is still free India’s biggest problem of external policy and security. This volume also throws light on attempts open or veiled, by the Super Powers to make the dispute serve the ends first of the cold war and later of the power blocs. Also the significance of the correspondence lies in proving through subsequent events how right Sardar Patel was in his assessment of Abdullah and of the events then taking shape.
