In Of Gardens and Graves Suvir Kaul examines the disruption of
everyday life in Kashmir in the years following the region's
pervasive militarization in 1990. Kaul's autobiographical and
analytical essays, which were prompted by his yearly visits to
Kashmir, are a combination of political analysis, literary
criticism, memoir, and journalistic observation. In them he
explores Kashmir's pre- and post-Partition history, the effects of
militarization, state repression, the suspension of civil rights on
Kashmiris, and the challenge Kashmir represents to the practice of
democracy in India. The volume also features translations of
Kashmiri poetry written in these years of conflict. These poems
constitute an archive of heightened feelings and desires that
affectively interrogate official accounts of Kashmir while telling
us much about those who face extraordinary political turbulence and
violence. Of Gardens and Graves also contains a photo essay by
Javed Dar, whose photographs work together with Kaul's essays and
the poems to represent the interweaving of ordinary life, civic
strife, and spectacular violence in Kashmir.
