The upping of the anti-militancy operations following the break-up of the Peoples Democratic Party–Bharatiya Janata Party alliance in Jammu and Kashmir is seen as being carried out with a view to win the general elections at the cost of Kashmiri lives and bodies scarred with pellets.
Mudasir Amin (mudasiramin90@gmail.com) and Samreen Mushtaq (samreen_mushtaq@ymail.com) are researchers working on Kashmir, currently pursuing PhD at Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi. Their dissertations look into the aspects of politics of humanitarian aid, and gender-based violence and militarisation in Kashmir, respectively.
