Kashmir: A Case of Freedom by Tariq Ali
4.0
This book offers a great in-depth history of the freedom struggle in Kashmir in the form of short works by a few different writers. I really appreciated Angana P. Chatterji’s chapter the most, as well as both of Arundhati Roy’s.
I think this book is ideal for someone who has a basic understanding of the history of Kashmir and its occupation but would like to learn more, or maybe someone who’s been brainwashed by Hindu nationalist media or even their diaspora peers into thinking the Muslim population of Kashmir hasn’t endured great atrocities for years and years now. There is no way to read this book and come away with anything other than a profound pain and understanding that Kashmiris have endured so much devastation at the hands of the Indian state.
