In 'Seedtime in Kashmir: A Memoir of William Jackson Elmslie', the author paints a vivid picture of life in 19th-century Kashmir through a series of personal anecdotes and reflections. Elmslie's writing style is infused with a poetic lyricism, capturing the beauty of the region and the complexities of its society with great detail and sensitivity. The book offers readers a glimpse into a world that is both foreign and familiar, drawing on themes of culture, history, and personal growth. Elmslie's intimate narrative provides a unique perspective on colonial India and the role of Western missionaries in the region. William Jackson Elmslie, a Scottish missionary who spent several years in Kashmir, brings a wealth of firsthand experience to his writing. His deep connection to the land and its people shines through in every chapter, offering readers insight into the complexities of identity, faith, and cross-cultural interactions. Elmslie's empathy and curiosity are evident throughout the memoir, making it a valuable historical document and a compelling piece of literature. I highly recommend 'Seedtime in Kashmir' to readers interested in travel writing, colonial history, and the intersection of religion and culture. Elmslie's memoir is not only a captivating read but also a valuable contribution to our understanding of a pivotal moment in Kashmir's history.

Shi’ism in Kashmir

When Muslim rule in Kashmir ended in 1820, Sikh and later Hindu Dogra Rulers gained power, but the country was still largely influenced by Sunni religious orthodoxy. This book traces the impact of Sunni power on Shi'i society and how this changed during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The book identifies a distinctive Kashmiri Shi'i Islam established during this period. Hakim Sameer Hamdani argues that the Shi'i community's religious and cultural identity was fostered through practices associated with the martyrdom of Imam Husayn and his family in Karbala, as well as other rituals of Islam, in particular, the construction and furore surrounding M'arak, the historic imambada (a Shi'i house for mourning of the Imam) of Kashmir's Shi'i. The book examines its destruction, the ensuing Shi'i -Sunni riot, and the reasons for the Shi'i community's internal divisions and rifts at a time when they actually saw the strong consolidation of their identity.

In Historical Title, Self-Determination and the Kashmir Question Fozia Nazir Lone offers a critical re-examination of the Kashmir question. Through an interdisciplinary approach and international law perspective, she analyses political practices and the substantive international law on the restoration of historical title and self-determination. The book analytically examines whether Kashmir was a State at any point in history; the effect of the 1947 occupation by India/Pakistan; the international law implications of the constitutional incorporation of this territory and the ongoing human rights violations; whether Kashmiris are entitled to restore their historical title through the exercise of self-determination; and whether the Kashmir question could be resolved with the formation of international strategic alliance to curb danger of spreading terrorism in Kashmir.

In The Occupied Clinic, Saiba Varma explores the psychological, ontological, and political entanglements between medicine and violence in Indian-controlled Kashmir—the world's most densely militarized place. Into a long history of occupations, insurgencies, suppressions, natural disasters, and a crisis of public health infrastructure come interventions in human distress, especially those of doctors and humanitarians, who struggle against an epidemic: more than sixty percent of the civilian population suffers from depression, anxiety, PTSD, or acute stress. Drawing on encounters between medical providers and patients in an array of settings, Varma reveals how colonization is embodied and how overlapping state practices of care and violence create disorienting worlds for doctors and patients alike. Varma shows how occupation creates worlds of disrupted meaning in which clinical life is connected to political disorder, subverting biomedical neutrality, ethics, and processes of care in profound ways. By highlighting the imbrications between humanitarianism and militarism and between care and violence, Varma theorizes care not as a redemptive practice, but as a fraught sphere of action that is never quite what it seems.
