Insecurity on Both Sides of the Line of Control by Livia Holden and Emma Varley is available on the website of the Association for Political and Legal Anthropology, the section of the American Anthropological Association committed to critical study of politics and law.
The article is a secondary output of EURO-EXPERT and it is part of the Speaking Justice to Power Series which focuses on Kashmir and marks the one-year anniversary of the abrogation of Articles 370 and 35A of the constitution (August 5, 2019).
The article argues that, in order to better understand the extent and severity of the Indian Prime Minister Modi’s move, it is important to look across the Line of Control to also consider the legislative and governmental policies enacted in Pakistan-Administered Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Gilgit Baltistan.
