dc.description.abstract	This study uses law as a divining rod to draw out historical connections and intersections that implicate power, violence, and oppression in Indian-administered Kashmir. Broadly, this study asks why violence and oppression persist in Kashmir and how law acts as an underwriting force. Specifically, this study seeks to uncover in what ways do law, the post-colonial context, security discourse, and violence and oppression in Kashmir intersect, influence, perpetuate, and legitimize one another.	en_US
