Reviews

The [Jammu and Kashmir] dispute is a convolution of historical idiosyncrasy, legal ambiguity and political injustice. But scholarly descriptions almost always fail to portray the anguish of its peoples. Mathur captures that academic space by rigorously interrogating the state violence-physical and mental-that is endured by Kashmiris every day. The Human Toll of the Kashmir Conflict provides the vital link between aloof polemic and analysis - Kashmir's pain. - Siddiq Wahid, Former Director, Institute of Kashmir Studies, University of Kashmir, Jammu and Kashmir
