Description

"The rise of militancy and selective killings of Kashmiri Pandits in late 1989, followed by a terror campaign launched through letters, posters, pamphlets and newspapers, and issuing death threats and warnings to the Pandits to leave the Kashmir Valley in a short and specified time, had created feeling of fear and insecurity. Its immediate and major fallout has been the unprecedented en masse migration of nearly one lakh (minority) Hindu Pandit families from Kashmir to Jammu and other parts of India. This is the largest displacement of people in the history of independent India. Worsening security situation, which shows no signs of improvement, discourages these people from returning to their homeland. In the post-1989-90 period there have been a plethora of books on Kashmir but much that has been written is polemical in style and rhetorical in substance. There has thus been an urgent need for a thoughtful and scholarly study of migration of Kashmiri Pandits, the kind of life led by them, probable solutions about the betterment of their conditions, and absolute need for meeting and solving their problem on a permanent and satisfactory basis pending the solution of the `Kashmir problem` as a whole. The present book is a humble attempt to fill in this gap and is a pioneering work in this regard. It is the first one done by a geographer."

Professional Linux kernel architecture ''Wrox programmer to programmer''--Cover. - ''What you are reading right now is the result of an evolution over more than seven years: After two years of writing, the first edition was published in German by Carl Hanser Verlag in 2003. It then described kernel 2.6.0. The test was used as a basis for the low-level design documentation for the EAL4+ security evaluation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, requiring to update it to kernel 2.6.18 (if the EAL acronym does not mean anything to you, then Wikipedia is once more your friend). Hewlett-Packard sponsored the translation into English and has, thankfully, granted the rights to publish the result. Updates to kernel 2.6.24 were then performed specifically for this book''--P. ix
