Gender, Armed Conflict and Terrorism in Kashmir
Journal Title: Review Journal of Political Philosophy - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 2
Abstract
Kashmir has remained a contested terrain for more than five decades.More than three wars, long periods of insurgency, unrest and terrorism,continuous proliferation of terrorists both home and foreign trained, excessive deployment of the army, thousands of men, women, and children killed, tortured, detained, disappeared and an equal number alive in a place they consider their homeland whose destiny remains undecided. This situation has transformed Kashmir into an endless zone of conflict where the interests of three parties are involved i.e.India, Pakistan and the separatist groups. The worst sufferers are the women who bear the brunt of this violence from both sides.Their survival depends on how they escape the two types of terrorist activities, one non-state terrorist violence and second, violence inflicted by armed forces on behalf of the state. The impact of violence can be seen mostly on women due to the fact that violence has become a way of life in Kashmir. This article is an attempt to analyse the impact of violence inflicted by terrorists as well as the armed forces on women through feminist lens.
