Description

The territory of Jammu and Kashmir is one of the most politically contested and heavily militarised spaces on the planet. It has long been presented as an internal dispute , mainly by India, in attempts to sustain power through the project of settler colonialism. In this context, Kashmiri voices are rarely heard and so the conflict remains little understood, with a resolution nowhere in sight.

In Nuclear Flashpoint, Farhan Chak reveals how the history, culture, identity and the will of the people of Kashmir has been deliberately obscured to suit ideological agendas. He explores six unique time frames in Kashmiri history - from ancient Kashmir, through the British Raj, to present day. Asking who is a Kashmiri? , Chak reviews major misconceptions and exposes how vested interests articulate and interpret them.

Chak shines a light on the long cycle of revolt that continues in resistance movements today, and asks us to reconsider Kashmir s ongoing quest for independence.
