“All children in Kashmir grow as witnesses to the war around us. We go about our daily lives while an active war is raging in our backyards, our gardens, our schools, our hospitals. Despite the turmoil that engulfs us, our parents have prioritized education because they realize that this is a life-saving priority that will help us deal with the horrors that surround us and equip us with the most useful tools for our long-term well being.”
Kashmir Scholars Consultative and Action Network KSCAN
The Kashmir Scholars Consultative and Action Network (KSCAN), is an interdisciplinary group of scholars from various countries and regions engaged in research on the region of Kashmir. Each of us has written about Kashmiri history, society, culture, and politics, and their relation to the protracted conflict; and we are particularly concerned about the present conditions of violence. Our research on the Kashmir conflict addresses its history, its consequences for the region and beyond, and its possible resolution. It has implications for an internationally mediated political solution and is of relevance to policy makers.
