Sommario/riassunto

Since 1989, when the movement for Kashmiri independence took the form of an armed insurgency, it has been one of the most highly



militarized regions in the world. This book is based on the idea that preserving memory is central to the struggle for justice and to someday rebuild a society shattered by two decades of armed conflict.
