It focuses on his months as a governor of Jammu and Kashmir in 1990 during the peak of insurgency.[1] [2] [3] Its scope is wide, ranging from the history of ancient Kashmir and modern Kashmir, to how the state saw a breakdown of government machinery during the end of 1980s. Notably, during Jagmohan's second tenure, the genocide of Kashmiri Hindus was exacerbated.[4] The book is an attempt to address disinformation spread related to him and in general during those years.

In the first year of release the book saw four reprints.[5] The 12th edition was released in 2017. It contains a section on initiatives taken during the premiership of Narendra Modi with respect of Kashmir.[6] It has been translated into a number of regional Indian languages.[7] [8]
