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.

Shubh Mathur is an anthropologist whose interests include South Asia, human rights, memory and justice, minorities and environmental ethics. She works closely with the victims and survivors of human rights abuses in Kashmir and is deeply committed to their quest for justice. She is the author of The Everyday Life of Hindu Nationalism.
