The making of Kashmiri identity

Research Output: Contribution to journal Article Peer-review

Abstract

Much attention has been paid to the way in which national identities have been articulated as part of major political projects. Most writings on nationalism fall within the primordialist or constructionist camps. In this paper I will show how primordialism and constructionism work in Kashmiri nationalism. I will examine this by displaying the various means by which the notion of Kashmiriyat has been articulated, disseminated and maintained among the Kashmiri population in a de‐territoralised space.
