N2  - The book explores how the Kashmir conflict—caught between India and Pakistan—has deeply shaped identity, culture, and especially the lives of women. Nyla Ali Khan shows that women are not just victims of militarization, religious fundamentalism, and political violence, but also agents negotiating family, community, and nationhood. She highlights the erosion of *Kashmiriyat* (the region’s syncretic culture), the heavy impact of armed conflict on daily life, and the silencing of women’s stories. Drawing on history, personal narratives, and feminist analysis, Khan argues that understanding Kashmir requires centering women’s experiences and voices, which reveal both suffering and resilience
