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.
