N2  - "Grounded in ethnographic field research, this book explores multiple contesting, overlapping and often paradoxical masculinities in Kashmir. In doing so, it highlights the significance of foregrounding masculinities in the study of conflict. Further, it also examines how women’s agency-both complicit and subversive-is interwoven within the intricate web of masculinities. Using practices, performance and politicisation as key themes, the book addressess questions relating to the role played by the politics of masculinities in shaping women’s agency. Using examples and narratives from resistance movement in Kashmir, the book also explores the dialectical relationship between masculinity and femininity in conflict.
