Dateline Kashmir
de Dinesh Mohan, Harsh Mander, Navsharan Singh, Pamela Philipose, Tapan Bose
What is happening inside the world's most militarised zone? This book is the result of the authors' visit to the Kashmir Valley, the northernmost region of the Indian subcontinent, in December 2016, but it encapsulates the experiences and understanding of their many years of engagement with this part of the world. 'We wrote this book because we felt it was important to document this particular period in the long, troubled history of Kashmir because it marked for us a distinct phase of repression; a phase that saw targeted killings as well as injuries and blindings in flagrant defiance of humanitarian concerns and international norms on the treatment of civilian populations in conflict zones.' The authors provide a concise history of the conflict in the valley and make a strong plea for humanity, fairness and justice.
