The compendium emanated out of teaching a group of students drawn from the South Asia to Kashmir University. I had the privilege of directing a Master’s Programme in “Kashmir and South Asia Studies” at Kashmir University during 2013-2016. It is in one sense a follow-up of the digest being published at the Institute of Kashmir Studies at the university. The book is the by-product of a unique experience of teaching the Kashmir and South Asia course to a select group of students from different countries of the South Asia. The three years experience of teaching such a mix of local and South Asia youth together in the challenging academic and political environment of Kashmir valley gives me the confidence about the huge ‘soft power’ available to us which of course can be employed towards building bridges of unity and solidarity across people and states. In order to make the course innovative and invigorating leading experts on South Asia were invited for special lectures which added content

  • Kashmir a PARADISE on EARTH Description
    Kashmir A PARADISE ON EARTH Description: Emerald green meadows, majestic mountains, bewitching lakes and valleys… Nestling in the lap of the dazzling, snow-capped Himalayas, the Kashmir Valley is undoubtedly a jewel in India’s crown. This paradise on earth is indeed a nature lover’s wonderland. Srinagar: The state capital is situated at an altitude of 1730 m. above sea level. The city of Srinagar stretches along the bank of the Jhelum River, which is spanned by nine old and several other new bridges. Canals intersect the city and link the Jhelum with the spring-fed Dal Lake, which is divided by causeways into four parts-Gagribal, Lokutdal, Boddal and Nagin. Pahalgam: At the confluence of the streams flowing from the river Lidder and Sheshnag lake, Pahalgam was once a humble shepherd’s village with pristine beauty and breathtaking views. At an altitude of 2130 m. and 96 km from Srinagar, Pahalgam is Kashmir’s premier resort; cool even during peak summer. Gulmarg: At an altitude of 2730 m. and 56 km from Srinagar, Gulmarg is a huge cup-shaped meadow, lush and green, with slopes where the silence is broken only by the tinkle of cow-bells. All around are snow-capped mountains, and on a clear day you can see all the way to Nanga Parbat in one direction and Srinagar in another. Information: Eligibility: no age bar. Food: Wholesome and hygienic vegetarian food would be served. Jain Food will be available on prior request at resort/hotel but the same cannot be guaranteed during journey. Medical Facilities: Essential medical facilities in the form of first aid would be available throughout the journey and at resort/hotel.

This work is protected against unauthorized copying under Title 17, United States Code. ProQuest LLC 789 East Eisenhower Parkway P.O. Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract This thesis focuses on the militarisation of a secessionist movement involving Kashmiri militants and Indian military forces in the north Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir. The term militarisation in this thesis connotes the militarised state and, more primarily, the growing influence of the military within the state that has profound implications for state and society. In contrast to conventional approaches that distinguish between inter and intra-state military conflict, this thesis analyses India’s external and domestic crises of militarisation within a single analytic frame to argue that both dimensions are not mutually exclusive but have common political origins. Kashmir, this thesis further argues, exemplifies the intersection between militarisation’s external and domestic dimensions.
