Conflict and Wars, Militancy and Violence, Agitations and Demonstrations – Jammu and Kashmir has witnessed it all. Amidst all this, where do the women stand? Vibhuti Ubbott and Rekha Chowdhary delve into the multifaceted role of women in the political landscape of the erstwhile state in their book Silent Assertions: Women’s Agency in Jammu and Kashmir Politics. Spanning from the tumultuous events of 1947 to the present day, this book meticulously examines how women have navigated mainstream/power politics, separatist movements, and agitational politics in the region. It underlines the impact of patriarchal structures on their participation in various public spaces and questions the subordination of gender issues in the face of larger political identity issues.
