Always under the spotlight for the politics concerning this region, the vital human geography of Kashmir has never really got the kind of primacy it deserves. While a lot has been written in praise of its scenic splendour, not much focus is accorded to the elements responsible for its natural magnificence – its climate, the geography, and its interactions with the people, and vice versa.
This is perhaps why this place has not attracted the kind of scholarship it should ideally have given its geological past – of being a place desiccated from water – of an ancient lake called Sati-Sara, or having been part of the Tethys Ocean.
Even in global concerns vis-à-vis climate change, Kashmir rarely finds a mention. This is despite this region being situated within the world’s highest mountain range— the Himalayas, which are vital to the global climate, and dictate & determine the human geography & political economy of billions not only in the Indian subcontinent but the entire South Asia.
With all these observations, fears & doubts in mind, JK Policy Institute’s work is focused on SUSTAINABILITY and other matters concerning the human geography of the region.
