We Carry Your Shit on Our Heads’
Certain fieldwork settings pose challenges that often test the conventional methodological and academic wisdom that we have gained as a part of our training. Our research acumen faces the real test when we particularly research vulnerable and marginalised communities. This article reflects on my experiences of conducting fieldwork using an autoethnographic approach among the marginalised ‘Watal’ community in Kashmir. As a female researcher, I enc…
Silence, struggle, and acceptance
Transgender individuals in Kashmir navigate systemic exclusion shaped by patriarchal norms, socio-economic marginalisation, and institutional neglect. Based on in-depth, semi-structured interviews with forty-three participants, this study examines how stigma is experienced and resisted in everyday life.

Identity and interests
This study discusses Islam as a “strategic entity” in Pakistan’s quest for identity and interests, in its formative years, 1947 to 1956. The end of the post-colonial era not only re-defines the geography of the world but equally redistributes the power structures between the retired empires and the new states. The new players in the pursuits of identity and interests restarted the old game of gain according to their political paradigms. In subseq…
Religious Nationalization of Identity
Zia ul-Haq, President of Pakistan (1977-1988), introduced Islam into the public and political realms. Once he grabbed power in Pakistan after ousting the elected government of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, Islam became his strategic choice to provide legitimacy to his military coup and to expand his role in the Muslim world. Since the independence of Pakistan, the state had used Islam on many occasions to serve its interests. The encouraging results in th…
Doing research in a ‘conflict zone’
This paper argues that in conflict zones like Jammu and Kashmir, the embodied stories of Kashmiris punctuate the past, often silenced by dominant Indian narratives. Narratives about certain key political events in the region's past co-exist with other forms of memory. Kashmiris weave these stories to make sense of the present, build connections to the past, and stake claims for the future. They build and nourish an archive based on lived experien…
