xxi, 211 p. ; 24 cm Islam, Women, and Violence in Kashmir: Between India and Pakistan examines the political conflict in Kashmir through the lenses of gender, religion, nationalism, and violence. The author analyzes how political upheaval, militarization, and competing nationalist discourses have affected the lives of Kashmiri women and transformed social and cultural relations in the region. The book explores themes such as cultural syncretism in Kashmir, political conflict, militarization, gendered violence, and the negotiation of identity, community, and nationhood. It argues that women are not merely victims of conflict but active participants in shaping social and political responses to violence and instability. / Nyla Ali Khan Muslim women--India--Jammu and Kashmir 305.486 KHA 9781137582331 260616 20260616114019.0
