Kashmir is a landlocked region in northern India and one of the most heavily militarized areas in the world. The region has been in conflict since its independence from British rule in 1947. The Muslim-majority Kashmir is split between India and Pakistan, and has been the site of numerous armed conflicts. Death in Kashmir tells the story of violence and displacement in the region through the experiences of three women: a Kashmiri doctor, a Pakistani refugee, and a Indian soldier. The book examines the impact of war on civilians, and the ways in which the conflict shapes their lives.; 8vo; 332 pages; $6.00.
