Additional materials related to this proposal are available only to logged-in member users.

This proposal is for 15 individual titles related to the Kashmir situation, primarily during the late 1950s and 1960s. Included are two Secret Reports by government entities related to potential terrorist activity. Indiana University is the only known holder of these two reports, which were gifted to the institution in 2005. The additional titles are other related government documents from this time period, also scarcely held in WorldCat. Most of these are published by entities within or related to the Pakistani government, as the Indian government publications that are both relevant and held at IU are more widely held.

Reasons for consideration: 

The two major volumes in this collection are Secret Reports related to Kashmir for which Indiana University is the only listed holding institution in WorldCat. Because of their uniqueness, these volumes cannot leave the building or be sent out via ILL. Microfilming would make them available to a far wider audience of CRL members. Given the ongoing issues in Kashmir, this topic is still of high interest. In fact, I was only alerted to the existence of these volumes due to an external scholar who wanted to visit to view them. The other 13 volumes are also scarcely held, and highlight some of the more public viewpoints and arguments of the governments being made at that time.
