A Study of Displaced Kashmiri Pandits in Jammu and Kashmir

Ankur Datta

• There has been little ethnography published on Internally Displaced Persons. This text is a contribution to the field of forced migration and internal displacement studies.
• The Kashmiri Pandit certainly occupies a difficult political location today; this work explores the social position of the displaced Pandits from camps to the larger city of Jammu and their relationship to nationalisms both Indian and Kashmiri, and the state.
• This book looks at dispossession of those who do not come across as stereotypical victims. This book is a contribution to Kashmiri studies
