Book Synopsis Kashmir and the Future of South Asia by : Sugata Bose
Download or read book Kashmir and the Future of South Asia written by Sugata Bose and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-29 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book uses an innovative people-centered approach to the Kashmir problem to shed new light on why postcolonial partitions remain unfinished and why the wounds of postcolonial nation-state formation in South Asia continue to fester. "Kashmir" is viewed as a metaphor for the permanent internal wars of partition that mark the South Asian experience. Chapters sensitively bring Kashmiri voices to the fore to examine Kashmir in the national discourses of India and Pakistan, resistance in the Kashmiri imagination and the Kashmir conflict in a global context. The book foregrounds how the space of Kashmir as a cultural, historical and political sphere persists and continues to haunt the postcolonial national present as the people of Kashmir and their cultural, literary and artistic productions cannot be contained within the regnant paradigms of the nations across which the region is partitioned. Additionally, the book explores how long-term resolution would demand engagement with historical forces, political actors and social formations that exceed the nation-state. An important contribution to the study of this troubled region, this book will be of interest to academics and researchers of modern South Asian history and politics as well as comparative politics and international relations.

Book Synopsis Imagining Kashmir by : Patrick Colm Hogan
Download or read book Imagining Kashmir written by Patrick Colm Hogan and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2016-10 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1947 partition of the Indian subcontinent, Kashmir—a Muslim-majority area ruled by a Hindu maharaja—became a hotly disputed territory. Divided between India and Pakistan, the region has been the focus of international wars and the theater of political and military struggles for self-determination. The result has been great human suffering within the state, with political implications extending globally. Imagining Kashmir examines cinematic and literary imaginings of the Kashmir region’s conflicts and diverse citizenship, analyzing a wide range of narratives from writers and directors such as Salman Rushdie, Bharat Wakhlu, Mani Ratnam, and Mirza Waheed in conjunction with research in psychology, cognitive science, and social neuroscience. In this innovative study, Patrick Colm Hogan’s historical and cultural analysis of Kashmir advances theories of narrative, colonialism, and their corresponding ideologies in relation to the cognitive and affective operations of identity. Hogan considers how narrative organizes people’s understanding of, and emotions about, real political situations and the ways in which such situations in turn influence cultural narratives, not only in Kashmir but around the world.

Book Synopsis The Occupied Clinic by : Saiba Varma
Download or read book The Occupied Clinic written by Saiba Varma and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2020-09-21 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Occupied Clinic, Saiba Varma explores the psychological, ontological, and political entanglements between medicine and violence in Indian-controlled Kashmir—the world's most densely militarized place. Into a long history of occupations, insurgencies, suppressions, natural disasters, and a crisis of public health infrastructure come interventions in human distress, especially those of doctors and humanitarians, who struggle against an epidemic: more than sixty percent of the civilian population suffers from depression, anxiety, PTSD, or acute stress. Drawing on encounters between medical providers and patients in an array of settings, Varma reveals how colonization is embodied and how overlapping state practices of care and violence create disorienting worlds for doctors and patients alike. Varma shows how occupation creates worlds of disrupted meaning in which clinical life is connected to political disorder, subverting biomedical neutrality, ethics, and processes of care in profound ways. By highlighting the imbrications between humanitarianism and militarism and between care and violence, Varma theorizes care not as a redemptive practice, but as a fraught sphere of action that is never quite what it seems.
Book Synopsis The Crimson Chinar by : Brig Amar Cheema, VSM
Download or read book The Crimson Chinar written by Brig Amar Cheema, VSM and published by Lancer Publishers. This book was released on 2015-03-31 with total page 621 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among cataclysmic events that have shaped India’s post independence history, none compare with the conflict ‘in’ and ‘over’ the erstwhile princely state of Jammu and Kashmir. Kashmir is truly unique as not only is it the nub of the Indo-Pak feud, but also with her other adversary – China. Historically speaking, Kashmir has remained a frontline ever since the Great Game. In view of China’s growing outreach and the fact that Kashmir’s occupied territory link both India’s adversaries, it portends volatility in the India-Pakistan-China triangular relationship. Brig Amar Cheema’s well–researched endeavour recounts the Kashmir imbroglio beyond episodic accounts but by providing the record in continuum; provides a broader perspective. The Crimson Chinar delivers a blow-by-blow account of the many ‘wars,’ and continues the narrative through the phases of ‘No War-No Peace,’ ‘insurgency’ and ‘limited war’ that have progressively ravaged the state. The context and geo-strategic environment has been re-created based on in-depth research and captured the rationale of the times. The important take away being; ‘wherever’ and ‘whenever’ India has responded ‘pro-actively’ and with determination, results have been significantly different; 1965, 1971 and Siachen being prime examples. With myriad external and internal dimensions, Kashmir continues to cast shadows on the progression of the sub-continent. Peace remains as elusive as it was in the forties; if anything, the adversaries – both known and unknown, have grown stronger. While the reasons for the conflict may have changed with the times, the underlying causes remain as profound as they were decades ago.

Book Synopsis Jammu and Kashmir: The Tide Turns by : Col Jaibans Singh
Download or read book Jammu and Kashmir: The Tide Turns written by Col Jaibans Singh and published by Lancer Publishers LLC. This book was released on with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The state of Jammu and Kashmir has gone through some testing times. When terrorism was at its peak, it was confronted with a strong will and iron resolve by the people of the state who refused to get cowed down. In their endeavour to challenge the forces of evil, people found vigorous support from fellow citizens of the Indian Union and the security forces. An unfortunate facet was the politics of opportunism played out by some elements, who continue to remain out of sync with the actual aspirations of the people. This book revisits some of the main events of this millennium that have been instrumental in charting a new course for this trouble torn region. It speaks of the spirit of the people, who defied all odds for their right to live a life of freedom and dignity as an integral part of a vibrant democracy. As the book goes through various events, it provides invaluable inputs for energetic debate on the future course of action.

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.

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.
