Engendering Protest and Rethinking "Azadi" in Kashmir in Vishal Bhardwaj's Haider
Women living in the South Asian conflict zone of Kashmir have been represented by mainstream media and film as mainly victims of the Indian state power's political and sexual violence, as protestors who are supporting their men's insurgency in Kashmir, or as aligned with local Islamic militant groups.
