Looks like pushing the Pakistani agenda.
1) no mention of Islamist terrorism which destroyed the so called kashmiriat.
2) Pandits, their life, culture, suffering and genocide is skillfully forgotten. As if like Their plight is their self committed karma.
3) where is jammu in all this?
4) it carefully avoids Pakistani (sunni)colonisation of gilgit and baltistan. No voice against what is happening in POK.
5) looks very suspect it seems.
Attend & ask abt. Pak’s as well as Kashmir’s utilization of religious commonality as ethnacization justifying Pak’s use of non-state actors while Kashmiri political leaders used special rights to push religious supremacism & regional chauvanism oppressing minorities while giving free pass to Pakistan for decades & now when Kashmiris asked for their rights in POJK Pakistan Pak state using all it’s might to discredit the leaders & the moment in POJK while India is hold to such standards that the only fair description for them is “bigotry of high expectations”.
How was it? Any tales to share? I find anything labeled “South Asian” to be immediately suspect, and the titles of these talks do very little to assuage that.
we are mulling on whether to attend this or not..

Yes it does feel that way right?
so worth not attending in that case.
the Amrita Ghosh talk but then left-liberals.

we have taken your advice and are attending. the session seem interesting enough even if we disagree with their politics

it was much more Pakistan, than India, focussed. so sub-nationalism in a Pakistani context.
