Since 1989, religious fundamentalism and exclusionary
nationalism in Jammu and Kashmir have generated political and
social turmoil and eroded the ethos and culture of Kashmir. These
forces are responsible for the silencing of dissenters, economic
deprivation, lack of infrastructure, mass displacements, political
anarchy, and the repression of women. Women in Kashmir constantly
grapple with both the devastating effects of Indian occupation and
Pakistani infiltration and their own complicated histories. Nyla
Ali Khan, the granddaughter of the first Prime Minister of Jammu
and Kashmir, Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah, gives an insider's analysis
of the effects of nationalist, militant, and religious discourses
and praxes on a gender-based hierarchy. This cross-disciplinary
project shows the attempted relegation of Kashmiri women to the
archives of memory and reveals the women's powerful and persistent
endeavors to rise from the ashes of immolated identities.
