This book describes the lived experience of Kashmiris who came of
age between 2007 and 2017. It shows that Kashmiris generally had
high hopes for peace and stability when the militancy that began in
1988 ended around 2006. It explores the reasons why there was so
much angst and rage, which exploded in agitations and stone-pelting
in 2008, 2010, and 2016 and why a new militancy is on the rise. It
traces the decilne of hope among the Kashmirirs as the situation
worsened from a perceived threat to their identity in 2008 to rage
over the killing of innocents in 2010. The anger has finally
resulted in support for militancy in 2016. The author relates the
rage to the failure to declare the previous militancy over, and
wind up counterinsurgency. He narrates how young people experienced
the breakdown of the rule of law, exploring the conflict economy,
the rewards for encounters, and terror acts by state-backed
mercenaries. He argues that simplistic black-and-white narratives
are counterproductive, that these suit both pro- and anti-state
actors, and lead the poor and marginal to death. The book presents
findings of the most extensive survey of Kashmiri youth, showing
that the youth have a variety of aspirations, and that these change
over time and across social milieus.
