Enacting a politics of possibilities against Zulm and towards Azadi from coloniality and occupation
This article ethnographically maps two Kashmiri/Urdu concepts zulm and azadi and their conceptual salience in offering an epistemic-political account of India’s enforced militarisation as an unrelenting presence and condition of its coloniality in Kashmir.
