Event Description : "Of Gardens And Graves: Essays On Kashmir, Poems In Translation" by Suvir Kaul, with photographs by Javed Dar - Book Discussion.
The book examines the textures of everyday life in Kashmir after 1990, the years of pervasive militarization of the valley. It combines personal essays with enquiries into the pre- and post-Partition histories and political actions that underline the present conflict. The volume also features translations of poems written in Kashmiri in these last twenty-five years of conflict. The author argues that such creative writing is a powerful archive for our understanding of the experiences, and thus the political feelings, of Kashmiris. These poems enact for us fissures in Kashmiri lives and emphasize the effects of long-term violence and dislocation on individuals and communities. In doing so, they remind us why Kashmir remains an extraordinary challenge to the functioning of democracy in India.
Panelists: Ayesha Kidwai, Professor, School of Languages, JNU; Gowhar Fazili, Researcher, Dept. of Sociology, Delhi School of Economics; Suvir Kaul, Professor, University of Pennsylvania & Javed Dar photojournalist.
Moderator: Asad Zaidi, Publisher, Three Essays Collective
