Book Synopsis The Land I Dream Of by : Manisha Sobhrajani
Download or read book The Land I Dream Of written by Manisha Sobhrajani and published by Hachette India. This book was released on 2014-10-25 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In any conflict, the worst affected are always the women? The narrative around the Jammu-and-Kashmir insurgency continues to be built around the role of freedom fighters, insurgents and politicians ? all of them, not surprisingly, men. Yet, women have played an extraordinary role in the history of Kashmir, in retaining Kashmiriyat ? that long-forgotten ideal of mutual co-existence. Equally, as mothers, daughters, widows, fighters, martyrs and mujahids, they have been inseparable from the four-decade-old conflict. In The Land I Dream of, researcher Manisha Sobhrajani documents her encounters with women from disparate backgrounds across the troubled state. A Kashmiri Pandit forced into exile as a child; a mother-figure battling the establishment to give hope to thousands like her whose men have disappeared; an eighty-year-old who trained to fight tribal invaders in 1947 as part of Kashmir?s first women-only militia; and young Muslim women empowering themselves through entrepreneurship ? the lives she chronicles bear witness not just to the suffering and apathy Kashmiri women have had to endure but also to their strength in the face of it all. Combining individual recollection with journalistic endeavour, this searingly personal account of loss and despair and equally of hope and optimism is a testament to the resilience of the women in one of the world?s most fractious regions.'
Book Synopsis Muslim Women, Agency and Resistance Politics by : Inshah Malik
Download or read book Muslim Women, Agency and Resistance Politics written by Inshah Malik and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-11-16 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates agency in the historical resistance movement in Kashmir by initiating a fresh conversation about Muslim Kashmiri women. It exhibits Muslim women not merely as accidental victims but conscientious agents who choose to operate within the struggles of self-determination. The experience of victimization stimulates women to take control of their lives and press for change. Despite experiencing isolating political conditions, Kashmiri women do not internalize their supposed inferiority. The author shows that women’s struggles against patriarchy are at the heart of a very complex historical resistance to the Indian rule.
Book Synopsis The Kashmir Book Collection by : Farhana Qazi
Download or read book The Kashmir Book Collection written by Farhana Qazi and published by Newport Publishing. This book was released on 2020-07-22 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every war has a war story. The Kashmir Book Collection features essential reading on the human aspect of the "forever" conflict in Kashmir, the world's most militarized zone. American scholar and storyteller Farhana Qazi takes you inside this pristine valley, straddled between nuclear-armed India and Pakistan, to share the raw emotions of a people struggling to survive the brutalities of war--a place where madmen, militants, and the military battle one another. This series offers proven research showing how people manage difficult life or death situations, focusing on the emotional well-being of women, who channel their energy into activism. With heartbreaking stories and descriptive prose, Qazi interviews the visible women of Kashmir: political activists, peacemakers, protestors, and ex-prisoners. These women all have one thing in common: they demand change to the Indian occupation of eight million people. Women deserve basic civil liberties and the right to human security. Like their men, women are calling for an end to torture, communication blackouts, curfews, and lockdown. These women are not the silent sufferers of war but the brave activists determined to bring peace to the valley. Uplifting and emotional, Qazi offers this two-volume set to show that the chain of struggle is unbroken until freedom is granted to the Kashmiri people. The inspiring examples of women, who fight with words and non-violent resistance, are a testimony of their strength and solidarity. This collection traces the lives, passions, and roles of women as they fight for self-determination. PRAISE FOR THE KASHMIR BOOK COLLECTION "A brilliant read. This book reveals why human security is a global issue." - Ambassador Prudence Bushnell "Qazi brings the colors, smells, people and politics of Kashmir to life." - Porter Fox, Editor of Nowhere Magazine "This powerful book provides emotional insight into this divided region." - Ross Kaufman, Academy Award-winning Filmmaker “Qazi gives us insights into rarely visible Kashmir. Her powerful narrative and sensitive, brilliant storytelling, reveal her personal background and in-depth research experiences in Kashmir. A highly skilled writer, Qazi also provides a heart-and-soul connection for the reader that has been featured in organized panels at the United Nations.” - Lois A. Herman, United Nations "Farhana Qazi, a Texan of Pakistani descent, has written a shimmering book about her encounters with the women of Kashmir, starting with her own mother, who joined the Pakistani Army to fight for Kashmir. Qazi travelled to this land of haunting beauty to interview activists and advisors, protestors and politicians, mothers and martyrs, educators and entertainers, and more. The result is a moving journey through what has been called "the most beautiful prison in the world." - Deborah Scroggins, Award-Winning Journalist “An American woman sets out on a journey to understand one of Asia’s longest running wars and the role of women within it. Farhana’s bravery, open-mindedness, intelligence and tenacity take her into danger, real lives, raw emotions and ultimately discovery. This is a book that must be read by those who wish to deeply understand the motivations, lives and thoughts behind women in Kashmir." - Robert Young Pelton, Author & Documentary Filmmaker “Farhana Qazi's brilliant book combines her unique personal experience with her deep knowledge of the region, its people and its culture to tell us a story far more informative about today's events than any intelligence brief. And it is beautifully written--a joy to read.” - Brian Michael Jenkins, Counter-Terrorism Expert "My new favorite author!" - Isabel, Amazon Customer "This is an important book for women and for us all." - Diane Thomas, Best-selling Author "I couldn't stop reading!" - Betsy Ashton, Amazon Customer
Book Synopsis Gender, Conflict and Peace in Kashmir by : Seema Shekhawat
Download or read book Gender, Conflict and Peace in Kashmir written by Seema Shekhawat and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-03-06 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book demonstrates that gender is a key component of conflict and peace discourse. The marginalization of women in conflict and peace is all pervasive. Kashmir is a mirror image of this global scenario. Kashmiri women aided the militant movement in significant ways though they did not take part in direct combat. They played key roles to sustain and nourish the movement – as protestors, protectors and motivators, and facilitators. Their experiences of participation in the conflict, however, remain subdued by the dominant masculinist discourse. Kashmiri women are excluded from the militancy discourse as contributors as well as from peacemaking discourse as stakeholders. The study interrogates theory and practice of women's participation in conflict and argues that changed gender-roles during conflict do not necessarily revolutionize socially ascribed norms. The book also examines the experiences of women in sustaining conflict to make a case for their due place in negotiating formal peace.
Book Synopsis Do You Remember Kunan Poshpora? by : Essar Batool
Download or read book Do You Remember Kunan Poshpora? written by Essar Batool and published by Zubaan. This book was released on 2016-09-10 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On a cold February night in 1991, a group of soldiers and officers of the Indian Army pushed their way into two villages in Kashmir, seeking out militants assumed to be hiding there. They pulled the men out of their homes and subjected many to torture, and the women to rape. According to village accounts, as many as 31 women were raped. Twenty-one years later, in 2012, the rape and murder of a young medical student in Delhi galvanized a protest movement so widespread and deep that it reached all corners of the world. In Kashmir, a group of young women, all in their twenties, were inspired to re-open the Kunan-Poshpora case, to revisit their history and to look at what had happened to the survivors of the 1991 mass rape. Through personal accounts of their journey, this book examines questions of justice, of stigma, of the responsibility of the state, and of the long-term impact of trauma.
