Understanding Kashmir and Kashmiris
Author: Christopher SneddenPublisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 1849046212
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 396
Book Description
In 1846, the British created the state of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) - popularly called "Kashmir" - and then quickly sold this prized region to the wily and powerful Raja, Gulab Singh. Intriguingly, had they retained it, the India-Pakistan dispute over possession of the state may never have arisen, but Britain's concerns lay elsewhere -- expansionist Russia, beguiling Tibet and unstable China "circling" J&K -- and their agents played the 'Great Game' in Afghanistan and 'Turkistan'. Snedden contextualizes the geo-strategic and historical circumstances surrounding the British decision to relinquish prestigious 'Kashmir', and explains how they and four Dogra maharajas consolidated and controlled J&K subsequently. He details what comprised this diverse princely state with distant borders and disunified peoples and explains the Maharaja of J&K's controversial accession to India on 26 October 1947 - and its unintended consequences. Snedden weaves a compelling narrative that frames the Kashmir dispute, explains why it continues, and assesses what it means politically and administratively for the divided peoples of J&K and their undecided futures.
Marginalization In History A Study of Rural Women In Kashmir
Author: Dr. Urmeena AkhterPublisher: EduBubs Publishing House

Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 144
Book Description
Marginalization is a multidimensional, multicausal, historical phenomenon. There are no general laws to understand and comprehend the complex nature of marginalization. The nature of marginalization varies in different settings. For example, the marginalization of women in Kashmir is not same as in rest of India, though, broadly, they share some features. The religious ideological system, patriarchy, political-economy of a country, and the overall social system have impact on the marginalization of a specific group or individual. Development is always broadly conceived in terms of mass participation. Marginalization deprives a large majority of people across the globe from participating in the development. It is a complex problem, and there are many factors that cause marginalization. This complex and serious problem need to be addressed at the policy level. Marginalization however, has remained to be a persistent phenomena in one form or the other for a vast section of the population despite fast social and economic transition in the society of Kashmir. Against this backdrop the present book aims to scrutinize the concept of marginalization as an interrelated social process, its changing dimensions and socio-political implications of persistent marginalization in Kashmir. This book is an attempt to highlight the marginalization in history of Kashmir. This book will help students and researchers to understand marginalization in history of Kashmir in a better way.
War on Sacred Grounds
Author: Ron E. HassnerPublisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 0801460409
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 243
Book Description
Sacred sites offer believers the possibility of communing with the divine and achieving deeper insight into their faith. Yet their spiritual and cultural importance can lead to competition as religious groups seek to exclude rivals from practicing potentially sacrilegious rituals in the hallowed space and wish to assert their own claims. Holy places thus create the potential for military, theological, or political clashes, not only between competing religious groups but also between religious groups and secular actors. In War on Sacred Grounds, Ron E. Hassner investigates the causes and properties of conflicts over sites that are both venerated and contested; he also proposes potential means for managing these disputes. Hassner illustrates a complex and poorly understood political dilemma with accounts of the failures to reach settlement at Temple Mount/Haram el-Sharif, leading to the clashes of 2000, and the competing claims of Hindus and Muslims at Ayodhya, which resulted in the destruction of the mosque there in 1992. He also addresses more successful compromises in Jerusalem in 1967 and Mecca in 1979. Sacred sites, he contends, are particularly prone to conflict because they provide valuable resources for both religious and political actors yet cannot be divided. The management of conflicts over sacred sites requires cooperation, Hassner suggests, between political leaders interested in promoting conflict resolution and religious leaders who can shape the meaning and value that sacred places hold for believers. Because a reconfiguration of sacred space requires a confluence of political will, religious authority, and a window of opportunity, it is relatively rare. Drawing on the study of religion and the study of politics in equal measure, Hassner's account offers insight into the often-violent dynamics that come into play at the places where religion and politics collide.

Muslim Women, Agency and Resistance Politics
Author: Inshah MalikPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319953303
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 141
Book Description
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.
