It contributes to existing research in the fields of gender, intersectionality, borderland studies, and peacebuilding by focusing on women – an extremely vulnerable group – particularly during situations of conflict. Drawing on primary and secondary resources, this study is largely based on field research – including during the launch of Operation Sindoor and post-Galwan militarisation of Eastern Ladakh’s border villages – in the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book takes an interdisciplinary approach, incorporating the voices of women from Jammu, Kashmir, and Ladakh. Through narrative inquiry, it features in-depth personal interviews and case stories, providing a well-rounded gendered perspective of the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be useful to the scholars, students, and teachers of political science, sociology, anthropology, economics, and development studies.

Moving beyond conventional security and strategic discourse, this volume focusses on humanitarian concerns and the lived experiences of local populations who continue to bear the impact of political instability, militarisation, and border tensions.\nThrough a multidisciplinary approach, the book critically examines key issues including border dynamics, divided families, socio-economic marginalisation, climate vulnerability, and environmental security. It sheds light on emerging protests in Ladakh post-abrogation, political aspirations in GB, and the militarisation of everyday life along contested borders. Grounded in ethnographic fieldwork, legal analysis, and normative frameworks, the chapters amplify voices from within these communities, offering rare insights into the aspirations, anxieties, and resilience of borderland populations. Rich in case studies and real-life narratives, the book bridges academic scholarship with grassroots perspectives, making it both rigorous and accessible.\nThis book is useful to the departments of Border Studies, Peace and Conflict Studies, Political Science, International Relations, Anthropology, Sociology, and Security Studies. It would be an indispensable resource for policymakers, journalists, and readers interested in South Asia and border conflicts.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53368000217361,"sku":"NGR9781041115724","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":54565334155537,"sku":"NLS9781041115724","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781041115724.jpg?v=1792576997"},{"product_id":"piece-of-war-book-meha-dixit-9789353885069","title":"Piece of War","description":"Throughout history war has affected civilizations in many ways. In contemporary times, Afghanistan, the Kashmir Valley, parts of Middle East and Africa continue to be embroiled in conflict. It makes you ask the question: Is there an 'ordinary' life beyond violence in these conflict zones? Through the real-life stories of people, the book attempts to uncover the human aspect of war, and how individuals and communities make sense of and cope with the pain and uncertainty. In this book, narratives of people who have either lived or are living in conflict zones are presented in an anecdotal manner, highlighting the extraordinary resilience humankind possesses and its ability to survive amidst despair and destruction. Documenting the author's first-hand experience of confronting the realities of conflict-affected and 'post-conflict' regions of the Middle East, South Asia and West Africa (Afghanistan, Afghanistan-Pakistan border, Lebanon, Lebanon-Syria border, Sierra Leone, Indo-Pakistan border, Kashmir, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Odisha and Rohingya refugees along Bangladesh-Myanmar border), the book is a raw and bleeding portrayal of hope and strength.Piece of War will be a heartfelt and introspective read for all readers, and an analytical read especially for psychologists, anthropologists and journalists.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53534179295505,"sku":"NLS9789353885069","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9789353885069.jpg?v=1778541928"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-meha-dixit.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
