The Parchment of Kashmir: History, Society, and Polity
Nyla Ali Khan (eds.)
In this volume, Kashmiri
scholars of all disciplines undertake a new look at their homeland.
Taking account of both mainstream ideologies and contrary discourses,
the authors provide a set of visions for Kashmiri culture and society.
The authors underline the repercussions of India's anti-democratic
strategies, delineate the fundamental structural inequities in the Jammu
& Kashmir polity, and analyze the effects of nationalist, militant
and religious discourses and praxes on a gender-based social hierarchy.
The book offers a panorama of key cultural concerns of Jammu &
Kashmir today, from the military aspects of the Kashmir conflict to the
modern-day revival of indigenous cultural institutions.
