Until My Freedom Has Come Summary

Until My Freedom Has Come: The New Intifada in Kashmir by Sanjay Kak

Under an Indian military rule half a million strong, the people of Kashmir have faced more than their fair share of human rights violations and acts of violence. Until My Freedom Has Come is a collection of essays that voice the rage and helplessness that sweeps through Kashmir through the eyes of journalists, academics and artists from the region. It also offers a rare insight into the lives of those most deeply affected by the occupation. The book is made up of some of the most exciting writing that has recently emerged from within Kashmir.
