Srivastava's "Forgotten Kashmir: The Other Side of the Line of Control" sheds light on PoK Sudhan revolt. The fourth chapter is on the Sudhan Revolt, once again a little-known page of history. Pakistan dismissed Sardar Ibrahim Khan as president of PoK in May 1950 and his tribe, the Sudhan, took to arms. The Pakistani military put down the rebellion.

Sudhans' uprising also was embarrassing. Rebels captured some 500 Pakistani soldiers and spoilt pretensions that Azad Kashmir was a stable, unified region
