About the Book
Many disenchanted Kashmiris continue to demand independence or freedom from India. Written by a leading authority on Kashmir’s troubled past, this book revisits the topic of independence for the region (also known as Jammu and Kashmir, or J&K), and explores exactly why this aspiration has never been fulfilled. In a rare India-Pakistan agreement, they concur that neither J&K, nor any part of it, can be independent.Charting a complex history and intense geo-political rivalry from Maharaja Hari Singh’s leadership in the mid-1920s to the present, this book offers an essential insight into the disputes that have shaped the region. As tensions continue to rise following government-imposed COVID-19 lockdowns, Snedden asks a vital question: what might independence look like and just how realistic is this aspiration?

Editorial Reviews
“
Migrant Epistemologies
combines migrant studies, philosophy, ecocriticism, and postcolonial theory to illuminate the role of nonfiction writing in enabling self-cultivation, representing collectivities, and imagining just futures. Through detailed readings of a range of texts by authors from India and beyond, the book offers new perspectives on border-crossing and the possibility of human interconnectedness in the twentieth century.”
