These disputes need to be resolved, which requires understanding their origins, the people of Kashmir and their struggles. This book provides essential insight' \u003c\/b\u003eProfessor Brian Toon, Nasa Award Winner, University of Colorado \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The territory of Jammu and Kashmir is one of the most politically contested and heavily militarized spaces on the planet. It has long been presented as an \"internal dispute\", mainly by India, in attempts to sustain power through settler colonialism. In this context, Kashmiri voices are rarely heard. In \u003ci\u003eNuclear Flashpoint\u003c\/i\u003e, Farhan Chak reveals how the history, culture, and the will of the people of Kashmir has been deliberately obscured to suit ideological agendas. He explores six unique time frames in Kashmiri history--from ancient Kashmir, through the British Raj, to the present day. Asking \"who is a Kashmiri?\", Chak shines a light on the long cycle of revolt that continues in resistance movements today, and asks us to reconsider Kashmir's ongoing quest for independence. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDr. Farhan Mujahid Chak\u003c\/b\u003e is the Secretary-General of Kashmir Civitas.
