Borderlands and Borderlines: Re-negotiating Boundaries in Jammu and Kashmir

Sumona DasGupta

Journal of Borderlands Studies, 2012, vol. 27, issue 1, 83-93

Abstract: This article identifies the term border not just as a physical boundary that separates the sovereign writ of one state from another, but also as another fault line generated or accentuated by a conflict—a line that separates “us” from “them.” This article explores some of the fault lines/borderlines in the iconography of the contemporary conflict in Jammu and Kashmir using gender as a cross-cutting variable rather than as a separate, add-on issue.
