Physical Disengagement and Ideological Reorientation Among Militants in Kashmir: An Exploratory Study ABSTRACT This qualitative study employs semi-structured interviews to explore the phenomenon of militant disengagement as experienced by six former militants in Jammu and Kashmir. The paper seeks to understand how and why individuals who enthusiastically joined the militant campaign against the Indian state beginning in the late 1980s subsequently moved away – physically – from armed violence. The study also aims to shed light on the nature and extent of ideological evolution experienced by the same individuals before and/or after their physical departures from militancy. The paper attends closely to the interplay between these physical and ideological aspects of disengagement, asking – in the case of each interviewee – how one relates to the other.

  • Jammu and Kashmir Realities Revisited
    scholar warrior Jammu and Kashmir Realities Revisited CLAWS RESEARCH TEAM India’s Northern most state, for the past sixty years, has come to be identified world over as the ‘troubled state of Jammu and Kashmir’. Hence it comes as no surprise that even the United Nations (UN) and the United States of America (USA) have time and again referred to the Kashmir issue not as it pertains to only the Kashmir Valley, but to the entire state of Jammu and Kashmir. This has become possible with focused efforts of Pakistan and separatists, who have resorted to continuous and deliberate distortion of facts and realities. A lot of eminent analysts have written on various realities of the state in the past. Yet whatever has been written thus far seems to have had little or no effect on the rest of India, and even less on the world at large. Indian news channels continue to refer to the Kashmir imbroglio as being applicable to the entire state of Jammu and Kashmir. This is a distortion. A further distortion comes from the popular slogan, “Kashmir to Kanyakumari – India is one”, used symbolically as a reflection of Indian Nationhood. This slogan while epitomising the spirit of India is actually a misnomer as Kashmir is not the northern most part of India and neither is Kanyakumari the southernmost tip. Factually, the two ends are ‘Indira Col’ and ‘Indira Point’. In the physical plane, Kashmir comprises 6.98 per cent of the total land mass of undivided Jammu and Kashmir and about 15 per cent of the land mass of Jammu and Kashmir as presently with India.1 Kashmir is thus geographically, a very small portion of the larger state of Jammu and Kashmir, the other two major constituents being the Ladakh and Jammu Divisions.
