You are formally invited to a Zoom book event featuring author Hafsa Kanjwal. In her new book, Kanjwal investigates the intricate processes through which Kashmir was made “integral” to India during the decade-long rule (1953-1963) of Bakshi Ghulam Mohammad. This exploration delves into bureaucratic documents, propaganda materials, memoirs, literary sources, and oral interviews to analyze the intentions, tensions, and unintended consequences of Bakshi’s state-building policies in the context of India’s colonial occupation.
Join us for a valuable webinar covering a book which addresses the emotional integration, development, normalization, and empowerment processes that shaped the new hierarchies of power and domination in the aftermath of decolonization. The conversation will critically examine triumphalist narratives of India’s state-formation and challenge the sovereignty claims of the modern nation-state. Kanjwal’s extensive research, drawing on diverse linguistic sources and oral interviews, provides a nuanced understanding of the complex dynamics of Kashmir’s integration into India.
