Infrastructures of Occupation: Dams, Development, and the Politics of Integration in Kashmir, by Mona Bhan
March 1, 2021
11:00 am
This talk analyzes the relationship between dam building, border wars, and India's settler colonial politics in Kashmir, particularly in the aftermath of the removal of Articles 370 and 35A that maintained Kashmir's semi-autonomous status in the Indian union. I will discuss how controlling vital Himalayan rivers fortifies Hindu reimagining of Kashmiri territory while forcibly integrating the region into India's extractive economy.

She is also the co-editor of HIMALAYA, the journal of the Association for Nepal and Himalayan Studies.
