Download or read book Azaadi Freedom and Change in Kashmir written by Laura Schuurmans and published by Arena Books. This book was released on 2023-04-24 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kashmir has been in geopolitical limbo since the partition of the British Raj in 1947. A region of stunning natural beauty and diverse ethnicities and cultures, its people have experienced military tension, violence, state oppression, and terrorism, for decades. This book provides an introduction to Kashmir and explores the reasons for the tensions within the region itself as well as the wider-reaching implications of those tensions. The international relations between India, Pakistan and China, are crucial to understanding this conflict, as are the relationships between those nations and the wider world. The changing nature of global politics continues to affect Kashmir and this book highlights the many reasons that peace in the region needs to be seen as a priority by global leaders. In exploring the practice of transitional justice in Timor-Leste (formerly East Timor) and in South Africa, Schuurmans presents potential routes to peace in Kashmir, and azaadi for its people.
Download or read book Azadi written by Arundhati Roy and published by Haymarket Books. This book was released on 2020-09-01 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The chant of "Azadi!"—Urdu for "Freedom!"—is the slogan of the freedom struggle in Kashmir against what Kashmiris see as the Indian Occupation. Ironically, it also became the chant of millions on the streets of India against the project of Hindu Nationalism. Even as Arundhati Roy began to ask what lay between these two calls for Freedom—a chasm or a bridge?—the streets fell silent. Not only in India, but all over the world. The coronavirus brought with it another, more terrible understanding of Azadi, making a nonsense of international borders, incarcerating whole populations, and bringing the modern world to a halt like nothing else ever could. In this series of electrifying essays, Arundhati Roy challenges us to reflect on the meaning of freedom in a world of growing authoritarianism. The essays include meditations on language, public as well as private, and on the role of fiction and alternative imaginations in these disturbing times. The pandemic, she says, is a portal between one world and another. For all the illness and devastation it has left in its wake, it is an invitation to the human race, an opportunity, to imagine another world.

Book excerpt: In the enchanted land of Kashir, the only casualty was peace... On the evening of 17 December 1971, Indira Gandhi declares ceasefire against Pakistan, seemingly bringing an end to months of violence and terror along the Indo-Pak border. At just about the same time, in the Kashmir Valley - Kashir to its people - Salahudin Bhatt of Zaina Kadal, Srinagar, has another reason to celebrate: the birth of a grandson, whom he names Ali, after Islam's greatest warrior. Yet, Salahudin is uneasy, for the boy's father has inadvertently spoken the words of war in the child's ear, and who knows what that might portend? Despite Salahudin's best efforts to keep the boy out of harm's way with mystic formulas and charms, Ali grows up strangely at odds with the world around him. The minor afflictions in his life, of which there are many, are compounded by the animosity he feels towards Ayesha, his eldest sister, with whom he shares an unspeakable secret. Then, when Ali is eleven, the family is struck by a terrible tragedy. face, for the first time, with the horrors wreaked on his beloved Kashir, Ali takes a decision that will change his life, and that of his family, for good. Evoking in fascinating detail the legends and rituals of Kashmiri life as well as the desolation of a land torn apart at its very seams, Endless Rain is a poignant tale about ordinary lives trapped in violent times.

Download or read book Kashmir the Vajpayee Years written by A.S. with Sinha, Aditya Dulat and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2017-08-16 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Srinagar in the winter of 1989 was an eerie ghost town witnessing the beginnings of a war dance. The dam burst the night boys from the separatist JKLF group were freed in exchange for the release of Rubaiya Sayeed, the Union home minister's daughter. As Farooq Abdullah had predicted, the government's caving in emboldened many Kashmiris into thinking that azaadi was possible. It was a long, slow haul to regaining control. From then to now, A.S. Dulat has had a continuous engagement with Kashmir in various capacities. The initiatives launched by the Vajpayee government, in power from 1998 to 2004, were the high point of this constant effort to keep balance in a delicate state. In this extraordinary memoir, Dulat gives a sweeping account of the difficulties, successes and near triumphs in the effort to bring back Kashmir from the brink. He shows the players, the politics, the strategies and the true intent and sheer ruthlessness of the meddlers from across the border. Kashmir: The Vajpayee Years paints an unforgettable portrait of politics in India's most beautiful but troubled state.
